In emergency care, defibrillators can mean the difference between life and death. The Biphasic Defibrillator Monitor and Cardioverter is ideal for ICUs, ERs, and ambulances. It features ECG monitoring, external pacing, and both manual and automatic defibrillation.


4. Oxygen Generator System

An Oxygen Generator System provides a continuous and reliable oxygen supply crucial for respiratory support in COVID-19 wards, operating rooms, and ICUs. It reduces dependency on cylinders and lowers operational costs over time.


5. Waste Pre-Shredding and Steam Sterilization System

Proper waste disposal protects staff and patients from infection risks. Our Waste Pre-Shredding and Steam Sterilization System ensures biohazard materials are neutralized before disposal, meeting hospital infection control standards.


6. Blood and Vaccine Refrigerator

Temperature-sensitive products like blood bags and vaccines require precise storage. A Blood and Vaccine Refrigerator maintains regulated cooling with alarms and monitoring critical for labs, ICUs, and maternity wards.


7. Contact Air Puff Tonometer

For ophthalmology departments, a Contact Air Puff Tonometer measures intraocular pressure non-invasively. It helps detect glaucoma and eye trauma early, enhancing patient outcomes in eye care units.


8. Portable Ultrasound Machine

Ultrasound machines are vital for obstetrics, emergency care, and general diagnostics. Compact and portable models offer bedside imaging for quick decisions in critical care, maternity, and surgical planning.
