Surgical Headlight: The Risk in Not Using One is Deadly

The invention of the surgical headlight is revolutionizing the medical industry. The surgical headlight is more than just a phenomenon; it is a necessity to perform critical operating procedures.

Therefore, it is important to consider the following reasons why you must use a surgical headlight.

1. Reason to Use a Surgical Headlight:   Effective Lightning

Insufficient lighting is a problem doctors cannot afford.  Conventional bulbs will create a shadow making it difficult to see the exact area to perform a surgical incision.  The slightest miscalculation in operating on a human being can mean life or death.  The surgical headlight provides doctors with a solution in having LED illumination that provides clarity.   The dictionary describes illumination as a source of light that provides intellectual insight and clarity.  

For this reason, gaining clarity and intellectual insight in performing a procedure that will change a person’s life is one reason you cannot afford to do without the L2S surgical headlight.

In addition to lightning, the second reason becomes an apparent need for you and your patient.

2.  Reason to Use a Surgical Headlight:     Laser Focus

Distractions are not acceptable in the operating room.  You need laser focus to perform a successful procedure.  Consider the amount of energy you use to save a life.  It is exhausting.  More importantly, if you have to adjust lightning or stop your concentration to direct your assistant, you are using more energy to refocus as well as placing yourself at risk in becoming fatigue.  

Research confirms fatigue affects a person’s ability to perform.  Mistakes occur when a person becomes fatigue.  For this reason, the need for you to be alert with laser focus is not only important to you, but absolutely important to the person’s life you are saving. 

Effective lightning and laser focus concentration are two essential elements you need to conduct the meaningful work you do for your patients.  Avoid the risk in not using a surgical headlight by investing in the L2S surgical headlight.  The illumination surgical headlight solution to ensure every procedure you perform is a success.    

Head and Neck Ultrasound Machine

Why Invest In A Head And Neck Ultrasound Machine For Your ENT Practice?

• Ultrasound machines with the specifications needed for head and neck ultrasound are readily available from Smartsound Ultrasound, at a cost that can be offset within a year through appropriate ENT ultrasound billing practices.
• Otolaryngologists are especially well suited for in-office ultrasound because of their expertise with anatomy and diseases of the head and neck.
• Ultrasound can be easily integrated into an office setting, providing a surgeon with real-time imaging that is more informative than x-rays.

Entertainment Ultrasounds

Commercial ultrasound machines found in malls and whatnot, or purchased for home ultrasound machines, may not be safe.

Professional Sonographers
Ultrasound is safe as long as it's applied by professional sonographers or ultrasound technologists. Commercial ultrasound machines and home ultrasound machines are not sold with a professional sonographer course or license, therefor they are risky.

Yale University School of Medicine reported in August 2006 that exposure to prolonged ultrasound waves can inhibit proper cell migration, known as neuronal migration, in mouse fetus' brains. While this doesn't prove any danger to humans, it does raise some questions.

It is still not a good idea to expose yourself or your unborn child to ultrasound administered by anyone except a professional sonographer operating a full blown ultrasound machine such as the elaborate professional ultrasound machines made by Biosound, a world leader in medical imaging, and sold exclusively in America by DrSmart.com - Smartsound Ultrasound.

Go With The Flow Of Tao Aspirator

Tao Meaning Or Definition
道 is the Chinese character for Tao. The Character translates as 'way', 'path', or 'route', but philosophically 道 denotes the fundamentally true nature of the world. While the Chinese character for Tao is itself 'the way', it's often more loosely interpreted as the character for 'doctrine' or 'principle'.

East Asian religions and ancient Chinese philosophy like Taoism, and Confucianism believe in Tao.

Tao is everything we know and don't know that exists. It's a concept about everything encompassed by Tao. The universe and everything we perceive is a subset of Tao.

Tao Surname
Tao is also an Asian surname. Tao & Tao Technology, a Washingon family business formed by the Tao's, manufactures medical instruments such as the Tao Aspirator.

Tao Aspirator
The world's first pencil-grip, fine needle aspiration syringe holder that provides the best precise control of the syringe fo aspiration. Tao Aspirators are made and distributed by Tao & Tao Technology, Inc.

"Tao Aspirator™ is an ergonomic syringe holding device providing total control and stability when performing fine needle aspiration (FNA) of a palpable mass for clinical diagnosis enabling the operator to direct the needle and draw back the plunger with one hand, while stabilizing the mass to be aspirated with the other hand."

Go With The Flow
Tao flows around and over everything as the force behind natural order; the flow of the universe, if you will. It is 'the way'.

Go with the flow of Tao Aspirators. They are 'the way' for FNA in ultrasound guided biopsies.

Thermal Ultrasound Paper is Required in Ultrasound Printers

Ultrasound printers require special thermal ultrasound paper.

Ultrasound machines have computers and software to process video images and pass them to special printers, like the Mitsubishi P-93W ultrasound printer and the Sony UP-895MD ultrasound printer. Ultrasound printers require specific paper.

There are many types of thermal paper designed for a variety of applications. Some products are formulated for long image life and others are designed to balance economy and short duration use. The life of the image depends on two critical selections. Ensuring that the paper is matched to the thermal printer such that the image color is fully developed is critical. The second is selecting the appropriate grade to match the needs of the end user. For example, thermal products designed for ultrasound medical imaging have significantly improved image stability over papers formulated for short duration such as gas station receipts. Image life can be greatly improved, to seven years or longer, by selecting the appropriate grade for the application and storage precautions.

Endocrinology Ultrasound

Endocrine Thyroid Ultrasound Qualified?
An Endocrinologist specializing in endocrinology ultrasound guided biopsy, thyroid biopsy, thyroid ultrasound, or fine needle aspiration in an endocrinology center is a qualified thyroid doctor for treating:

• thyroid cancer
• thyroid nodule
• thyroid cyst
• parathyroid
• thyroid and pregnancy
• hashimoto's
• hypothyroid
• thyroid disease
• thyroiditis
• grave's disease
• hyperthyroid
• cytophology
• goiter
• autoimmune conditions

The American College of Endocrinology's Comprehensive Certification Examination (CCE) demonstrates students' proficiency and awards them a Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound (ECNU). Successful candidates demonstrate acquisition of their ability to diagnose thyroid and parathyroid disorders through both diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA). The ECNU designation is recognized by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and allows recipients to be directors of ultrasound laboratories and apply for AIUM Practice Certification.

Thyroid Doctors Use Endocrinologists' Ultrasound Machines
A Thyroidologist is a thyroid specialist for ultrasound thyroid evaluation, thyroid blood work, thyroid labs, thyroid check up, thyroid exam, endocrinology consultation, endocrinology exam, and thyroid cancer second opinions.

Thyroid doctors must be qualified to evaluate and treat a broad range of thyroid conditions including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts, goiter, thyroid cancer, pregnancy-related thyroid concerns and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) and Graves' disease. Endocrinologists also evaluate patients for hyperparathyroidism and help determine if and when surgery is necessary.

Thyroid ultrasound is an effective way to diagnose health problems in the neck area of the endocrine system.

Board certified in Endocrinology, a thyroid doctor should offer extensive thyroid medical services including

• thyroid ultrasound,
• thyroid evaluation,
• ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules,
• in-office CLIA certified thyroid testing laboratory.

Endocrine System Care
Goals, methods, and outcomes of therapy will vary from patient to patient because numerous variables affect hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, nodules and cancer.
