The Arab Health 2010 exhibition will provide the biggest ever interface between the visitors and the exhibitors. This year will witness over 2500 exhibitors as against 2205 last year from over 65 countries with 30 dedicated national pavilions. With 4 new halls constructed at the venue this year, the region’s largest healthcare exhibition will woo the visitors with perhaps far greater representation from Canada, East and West Europe, USA, CIS countries as well as India, China, Pakistan and other Asian players.
In the light of the additional halls covering an estimated 20000 square meters of extra area and far greater participation this year, visitors are likely to pour in from the areas of medical staff, educators, policy-setters, healthcare administrators, hospital management staff and of course, dealers and distributors. The Middle East region’s biggest healthcare exhibition and a must-attend on the list of global professionals, Arab Health provides a perfect interactive platform for allied healthcare professionals, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and the visitors.
Medic Clean Air – systems for better air quality in high-care areas
Any kind of ailment affects more than just the physical state of a person. A simple infection such as the influenza is capable of disrupting the social and professional aspects of life immensely. In fact, we would be in agreement with the fact that most infections are air-borne and at times simple precautions like washing hands regularly; cleaning and disinfecting surfaces do not suffice.
Moreover, the paradox lies in the fact that the areas such as intensive care units and operating theatres which are most likely to be engulfed with infectious germs are also those requiring the maximum protection. Medic Clean Air understands this and the fact that in today’s recessionary world it is a distant possibility for hospitals to entirely renovate their high-care departments.
Herein, lies the need for better air quality in ICUs and operation theatres for low immunity and infected patients. Optimal air quality in healthcare settings has become imperative for the protection of patients, medical staff and visitors.
Medic Clean Air seems to play a key role in this area as a producer of such air purification devices. While devising such products certain parameters need to be considered. These include:
• easy installation
• immediate measurable results
• assisting correct airflow
• being patient-friendly with low noise levels
• no reverse airflow
• uninterrupted display of operation, hygiene security and air-pressure
• limited maintenance
• low electrical consumption
• easy to dismantle for implementation in another area
Further, the company is highly careful that the systems are backed by strong medical and scientific research. Thus, better security and efficiency in air quality without chances of a relapse for the patients and their attendants can be achieved successfully and optimally with such products.
Elma GmbH & Co – Steam and ultrasonic cleaning eqiuipment
Cleaning and hygiene have acquired a far greater significance than ever before. This year at Arab Health, Elma GmbH & Co. will present its products from Medica 2009. The most important product on display will be the steam cleaning machine for a pre-cleaning step of medical instruments in CSSD departments of hospitals. The advantage is that steam manages to reach every area of the instrument including holes, corners and narrow tubes. Moreover, with the new accessory set accompanying the Elma Steam machines, the steam will be travel to the exact place where it is needed. Further, one can connect endoscopes with a Luer-Lock interface directly to the steam cleaning machine.
With cleaning enjoying undivided attention, another product on display will be the ultrasonic cleaning machines. The focus is on the issue of the pre-cleaning of the instruments before they are disinfected.
Visitors can expect innovative products and new solutions for serious issues related to hospital life. At their stand, ZD38 in the German Pavilion, ELMA will conduct demonstrations and presentations involving the products.
The company firmly believes that there is a growing demand for proper cleaning solutions. This is because of the growing threat of illnesses like the swine flu or similar pandemics. Medical professionals as well as patients have recognized that cleaning is the best way to fight the transfer of any kind of illness.
Even in the face of the economic downturn, this company is surging ahead with confidence as its product line is very innovative and one of grave importance for maintaining hygiene.
Vokes-Air –Ultra Clean Ventilation Systems (UCVS)
Vokes-Air Group’s latest innovation is the Optima CG, the world’s first round UCVS. The round shape helps to achieve significantly greater unidirectional airflow stability and also air volume savings of up to 30% compared with conventional systems. The way the Optima CG operates is even more clearly demonstrated by visualizing its perfect airflow.
The company with an international presence will be presenting its latest products at Arab Health 2010 in order to introduce the latest developments in the field of Ultra Clean Ventilation Systems (UCVS) to the customers in the Arab world and in the process, seek cooperation and distribution partners for this market.
Vokes-Air GmbH is a 100%-owned subsidiary of the Vokes-Air Group and has been developing “Ultra Clean Ventilation Systems” (UCVS) for operating theatres for more than 30 years.
It is a technological leader in this sector - a position backed by many years of research and development and more than 5,000 references worldwide. Due to the good experience from last year’s exhibition, this entity expects even more interesting contacts due to the growing demand of UCVS worldwide.
