The unit is designed to be used in the Sterile Processing Department to find potential hazards before they reach the operating room. The Tester provides a full short-circuit test and also verifies the insulation integrity of bipolar cables and forceps, as well as laparoscopic forceps, electrodes and scissors.

Coronary guidewire

Terumo Inter-ventional Systems launches its Run-through NS Coro-nary Guidewire for use in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasties (PTCA). With its superior tip durability, complete torque transfer and enhanced steerability, this coronary guidewire boasts efficiency and reliability. Because the tip retains its shape better than the leading coronary guidewires, as shown in head-to-head testing, the Runthrough NS gives physicians the ability to perform multi-vessel procedures with one wire. By making vessel selection and lesion crossing easier, the Runthrough NS may result in more efficient and cost-effective procedures.
