Evaluation of Thermal Performance of Flame-resistant Fabrics Considering Thermal Wave Influence in Human Skin Model
A thermal wave skin model incorporating surface heat flux from a skin simulant sensor is developed to characterize the thermal performance of flame-resistant (FR) fabrics covering the skin simulant sensor. Comparison of the results of time to 2nd degree skin burn and temperature elevation of skin beneath a layer of fabric obtained from the newly developed thermal wave skin model to the results ...

Digital Monitoring Quickly Alerts to Thermal Changes During Surgical Procedures
Hypothermia is the leading prolonged anesthesia side effect in animals. In both dogs and cats, hypothermia, and even hyperthermia, can often happen with any lengthy surgical procedure – dental or general – or in a patient that has comorbid issues. Veterinary-specific multiparameter digital monitors are the key to quickly determining if an anesthetized patient is becoming hypothermic ...

Controlling Intraoperative Hemorrhage During Burn Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing NuStat Hemostatic Dressing to the Historic Standard of Care
Introduction: One of the primary intraoperative challenges during burn surgery is to adequately excise the burn while avoiding massive hemorrhage. This has become increasingly important, as we see more burn patients that are older and with more medical comorbidities. While adequate excision down to healthy tissues for deep burns is essential for skin graft to take, it also leads to active ...

Sources, Functions and Therapeutic Applications of Bromelain
Bromelain is closely related to pineapple. Chemist Vicente Marcano first discovered bromelain in pineapple in 1891, and then another chemist, Russell Henry Chittenden, extracted bromelain from pineapple fruit, which was then called "proteolytic enzyme in pineapple juice". Scientists have found that ripe pineapple stems have higher levels of bromelain. Many tropical fruits, such as papaya, mango, ...

Essential Facts about NovoSorb BTM
When trauma to the skin occurs, large areas of both the skin’s surface (epidermis) and deeper layers (dermis) may be destroyed. In many cases, large full-thickness wounds may require temporization due to the lack of suitable donor sites for primary skin grafting. Clinical research[1] indicates the temporization of deep, large wounds with dermal scaffolds can not only help provide ...

7 Advantages of NovoSorb BTM
Complex wounds often involve exposed deep structures of the dermal layer, requiring prompt wound closure and tissue reconstruction. It is essential to quickly assess the defect and identify the most effective treatment method for optimizing the patient’s experience and outcome. Often, dermal substitutes are selected as a surgical option for temporizing the wound bed while also facilitating ...
