SCARAWAY® SILICONE SCAR SHEETS

ScarAway® Silicone Scar Sheets are an effective, affordable, over-the-counter treatment to reduce and prevent hypertrophic and keloid scars that may result from surgery, injuries, or burns, reports Mitchell-Vance Laboratories. Unlike scar-minimizing creams and ointments, ScarAway delivers a slight pressure directly to the scar, and mimics the natural barrier function of healthy skin, diminishing the scar’s appearance and restoring skin to its natural texture and color. The sheeting is nongreasy, ultra-thin, flexible, breathable, and durable with a soft fabric backing.

GE HEALTHCARE’S NEW VSCAN: MORE SCAN TIME, BETTER RESOLUTION, EXPORT OPTION

GE Healthcare has upgraded Vscan, its pocket-sized, hand-held ultrasound (US) tool.

Vscan provides black and white anatomic and color-coded blood flow images. While Vscan is not intended to replace a full fetal US survey, it can provide physicians a quick look to assess fetal viability, says the manufacturer.
