Berchtold’s Chromophare LED surgical light receives red dot award
Berchtold’s Chromophare LED
surgical light has received the
prestigious red dot design
award for product design for
2009. The award is reserved for
creative, innovative, highquality
products.
The Chromophare LED
surgical light has a flat
compact design which allows
for optimal configuration of
LEDs. This in turn provides
the surgeon with excellent
illumination of the entire
operating field. The closed
design with a smooth surface
ensures easy, hygienic
cleaning and reduces flow
turbulence.
The light uses the latest
generation high-performance LEDs which are combined in
such a way as to reduce colour
shadows and provide optimal
visibility of various types of
tissue. The cool infrared-free
light ensures comfortable
working conditions even
during long operations, making
rises in temperatures in the
vicinity of the surgeon’s head a
thing of the past.
An innovative sensor system
built into the handle of the light
allows the surgical staff to reposition
the lamp during operations
without inadvertently
altering the light field size. Via
the control panel on the lamp
and/or the wall control box, all
functions can also be controlled
intuitively and reliably.
The products submitted to the
red dot design award competition
are evaluated by an international
jury made up of renowned
design experts. They examine
and test products, assessing them
in terms of degree of innovation,
functionality, ergonomy, durability,
environmental friendliness
and user-friendliness.

Johnson’s Baby celebrates 50 years of No More Tears
Johnson’s Baby, the baby skincare
expert and part of Johnson
& Johnson, the world’s largest
manufacturer of healthcare
products is celebrating the
50th anniversary of its ‘No
More Tears’ (NMT) formula
this year.
Fifty years ago, based on the
deep understanding of the
mother-baby relationship,
Johnson’s Baby developed a
new set of safety standards to
mark the quality and gentleness
of its mild, cleansing,
soap-free shampoos; thus No
More Tears formula was born.
Now recognised world-over,
the NMT formula is not only
available in Johnson’s Baby
Shampoo, but also in body
cleansers and wipes.
Commenting on the 50th
anniversary, Dr Nahed Sabry,
Professional Program Manager,
Johnson and Johnson Middle
East, said: “We would like to
thank mothers for the confidence
they have placed in us
for taking care of their little
ones over the past 50 years.
The No More Tears formula
is only found on Johnson’s
Baby products and is a symbol
of trust, quality and safety. It is
gentle as pure water on the
baby’s eyes and does not sting
or cause irritation. Our products
have helped care for
around a billion babies globally
and we look forward to the
next 50 years with a constant
commitment to providing the
very best in baby care.”

US-based Varian Medical Systems X-Ray Products, a world leader
in X-ray tubes and supplier of the premier PaxScan line of digital
x-ray image detectors for filmless x-rays, has introduced their first
digital imager specifically designed for interventional angiography

allows the physician to monitor interventional procedures,
including the placement of catheters within blood vessels, in realtime,”
said Carl LaCasce, Vice President Imaging Products. “The

imaging systems and surgical C-arms. The panel’s compatible interfaces
and software simplify integration into existing systems. It is
specially designed for equipment incorporating
three dimensional cone-beam
CT (CBCT) capabilities.
