Barrier Protection for Beards

Healthmark Industries had added beard nets to its line of personal protection equipment. The single-use product made of polypropylene covers facial hair to prevent possible contamination of surgical incisions. The net, which is one size fits most and available in packs of one to 100, joins the company’s face shields, decontamination gowns, gloves, headwear and leggings to protect providers and patients from bloodborne pathogens and harmful bacteria.

Precise Cuts for Shave Biopsies

AccuThrive blades, a new line from AccuTec, are designed for the specific needs of dermatologists. The blades feature a proprietary polymer coating that creates lubricity and resilience for smoother incisions and reduced tissue trauma.

Physicians can use the blade to take a variety of specimens — deep and wide or broad and shallow — while leaving a clean deficit. The blade comes individually packaged for immediate use.
