Technology Improvements Planned to Reduce Usage of Medical Disposables
As healthcare costs spiral out of control, most countries are struggling to offer comprehensive health care to their populations. Politicians promise changes but are unable to deliver. Medifix believes in thinking ahead by improving existing medical technologies in response to current needs in medical procedure. Medifix's mission is to provide the best possible healthcare products and techniques which are simple, easy to use and safe. Its team of experts will work with the healthcare providers in the UK, and is planning to offer successful models globally. Medifix products are priced to appeal to the healthcare provider market that stresses lowest costs of total treatment parameters.
Medifix Lowers Cost of Healthcare Provision by Reducing Medical Wastage
Medifix aims to improve upon existing medical technologies by designing new products that serve a need that is clearly defined and acknowledged by medical professionals. One example is to counter the increased use of medical disposables which has implications on the cost and quality of health care provided. Medifix has developed a cannula that is designed to tackle the problem of failed cannulation. U-Cannula reduces the time required to insert cannula, and aims to lower the number of needle stick injuries caused to medical staff by discarded cannulae. The advantages of U-Cannula include:
- New alternative release mechanism
- New technology based on existing technique
- Four methods of cannula to choose
- Needle tip protection in vein to increase success
- Reduction of premature withdrawal
- Reduction of double puncture
- Plunger acts as cannula introducer
- Reduction of needlestick injury and cannula fracture
- Reduction of multiple punctures and trauma
- Manually operated cannula
U-Cannula also meets Medifix's stated aim of reducing medical waste, environmental pollution and tackling the high costs associated with the spread hospital acquired infections.
