dvm360 product report: Low-temp sterilization, joint chews, luer lock connectors and more
Heres our regular rundown of new and noteworthy veterinary products.
Plasmapp
Low-temperature sterilization
The Sterlink gas plasma suite offers an option for low-temperature sterilization utilizing hydrogen peroxide gas plasma to sterilize instruments that are moisture- and heat-sensitive. This purifying sterilization process also results in zero environmental impact and produces clean oxygen as a byproduct. It is compact, affordable and designed to maximize infection control options while improving operational efficiency. The suite includes the Sterlink FPS, a 14-liter low-temperature unit; the 7-liter Sterlink Mini, designed for specialty, ophthalmology and dental practices; the Custom Sealer, for VH2O2-safe Tyvek pouches; and Plasmapp's patented Sterpacks, plus additional accessories, including a movable cart, laser label printer and custom cassettes for vacuum-sealed Sterpacks.
Therabis
Joint supplement for dogs
Mobility soft chews are designed to support joint health in dog. The full-spectrum hemp product with naturally occurring cannabinoids, including CBD, promotes a healthy inflammatory system and helps maintain healthy connective tissue. Green-lipped mussel helps maintain synovial fluid and healthy joint function; promotes joint flexibility, elasticity and mobility; and helps build muscle and regenerate cartilage. Dimethylglycine (exclusive to the veterinarian formula) supports a healthy inflammatory system, helps oxygenate the blood and promotes proper immune system function. Patients should see benefits within three to five days when used daily.
Medidose
Luer lock connectors
The Guarded Luer Connectors from Medidose are specifically designed to facilitate the transfer (or mixing) of fluids between syringes and connecting various IV sets. The connectors can be used to join two luer lock syringes or other luer lock devices. Available in either female-to-female luer lock or female-to-male luer lock configurations, they're designed with large finger grips to provide secure manipulation and help protect against touch contamination. The connectors' bright coloring allows for quick identification, and they are individually packaged to facility aseptic technique.
iVET360
