  A CENTRIFUGE MACHINE A centrifuge is a system that separates the components of a liquid or a fluids (and even gases) by centrifugal force. It is a biological instrument used to separate liquid material due to its density and weight. It does this by spinning the liquid in a container at high speed. Centrifuges are primarily used in laboratories to prepare test samples for analysis. For example, a centrifuge can be used to separate plasma from  blood. This machine is equipped with a rotor in which the samples to be prepared are placed. To explain it better, it’s like getting butter out of buttermilk. There are several types of centrifuges that have one or more associated applications. So when choosing a centrifuge, you need to pay close attention to the needs   What Is Centrifugation? Centrifugation is the process of concentrating  natural forces acting on all particles of different densities to accelerate the natural separation process. Separate the particles  ...

  PLASMA SURGERY Plasma surgery is a specific waveform of electricity through the dual-pole or multi-pole probe within the physical structure to stimulate blood, mucosal and soft tissue or nucleus pulposus within the binary compound (Nacl) molecules to get plasma state. Then the plasma high-speed charged particles directly interrupt tissue molecular bonds, and cause organization of protein to vaporize into H2, O2, CO2, N2, CH4 and other low mass gas. Plasma Surgery techniques are achieved with the plasma energy released as the kinetic, thermal, and light energy. Kinetic energy allows for new uses of the device and an enhanced tissue effect. The thermal energy of the pure plasma energy allows for a high level of control over the tissue      effect with the minimal thermal diffusion Light energy provides enhanced visibility of surgical field. Advantages of plasma surgery Low working temperature 40-70°C, to reduce the thermal injury to surrounding tissue Probe into the ...

  OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR An oxygen concentrator is a medical device which provides supplemental or additional oxygen to patients who has breathing problems. The device consists of a compressor, a sieve bed filter, an oxygen tank, a pressure valve, and a nasal cannula (or oxygen mask). Like an oxygen cylinder or oxygen tank, a concentrator provides oxygen to the patient through a mask or nasal tube. However, unlike the oxygen cylinder, the concentrator does not need to be refilled and can provide oxygen 24 hours a day. A typical oxygen concentrator can provide 5-10 litters (LPM) of pure oxygen per minute. How does the Oxygen concentrator work? The working principle of the oxygen generator is to filter and concentrate the oxygen molecules in the ambient air to provide patients with 90% to 95% pure oxygen. The oxygen concentrator’s compressor draws in ambient air and regulates the pressure of the supplied air. A sieve bed made of a crystalline material called zeolite separates the nitrog...

  CATH LAB The cardiac catheterization laboratory, also known as the “ cardiac cath lab ,” is a special room where doctors can perform minimally invasive tests and procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. Surgery performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory almost always involves small flexible tubes called catheters, which can be used in place of surgery to access the heart and blood vessels. The catheter lab has special imaging equipment that is used to view the arteries and check the flow of blood in and out of the heart. This information helps the care team diagnose and treat blocked arteries and other problems. Cardiac catheterization is used to: Assess or confirm the presence of coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, or aortic disease  Assess myocardial function Determine if additional treatment is needed (for example, interventional surgery or coronary artery bypass graft or CABG, surgery) During cardiac catheterization, an elongated tube ...

  Suction Machine A suction machine, also called an aspirator, may be a variety of medical device that's primarily used for removing obstructions  like mucus, saliva, blood, or secretions  from a person’s airway. When a personal is unable to clear secretions because of a scarcity of consciousness or an ongoing process, suction machines help them breathe by maintaining a transparent airway. In practice care professionals use suction machines as an integral a part of a treatment plan when a patient’s airway is partially or completely obstructed. Some common uses include: Removing respiratory secretions Assisting a patient whom vomiting while seizing or unconscious Clearing blood from the airway  Removing a remote substance from a patient’s windpipe and/or lungs (pulmonary aspiration) Since suction machine can be used in the conjunction with other medical technologies to treat a variety of life-threatening conditions, aspirators have become a mainstay in both the pre-ho...

  ROLES OF REHABILITATION ENGINEERS                   They may suggest commercially available equipment to solve the problem of the disabled. Example : Rehabilitation engineers assisting workers in wheelchairs can choose commercially available components to set up an ergonomic workstation with height-adjustable desks and desks, as well as computer monitors and keyboards that are repositioned as workplaces. A rehabilitation engineer working in a rehabilitation centre may recommend electronic assistive devices used in daily life to activate the appliances and lights in her kitchen. They adjust and personalize technology and create unique solutions to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Example: A rehabilitation engineer working in the school system has a pre-schooler with limited leg movement and can modify an electric toy car so that it can be driven by manual control instead of pedals. Another rehabilitation engineer working...
