Vinyl Gloves by Soma Technology, Inc.

Vinyl gloves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are latex-free (made from synthetic rubber). Since vinyl gloves are not form-fitting, they fit more loosely than latex and nitrile and will cost less. Also, the level of protection is much lower than using latex or nitrile. They are normally used for cleaning, food prep, and other industrial environments. They will puncture easier than latex or nitrile. Before purchasing any type of glove, whether it be latex, nitrile, or vinyl, you have to ask yourself a few things • What amount of protection are you looking for? • Are you allergic to any materials that the glove is made from? • The quality of the glove and how it's made? • Powdered or Unpowdered? • The comfort of the glove? • The size of the glove? If protection is your major concern, there a few things you should know about Latex, Nitrile, and Vinyl gloves how they're made. There are three standard measures that protective gloves are scaled upon. Medical...

Mobility Scooters by Soma Technology, Inc.

The powered mobility scooter has become the alternative to the electric wheelchair. Early scooters were small, front-wheel drive models designed primarily for indoor use, with little power and limited range. Newer models, however, offer greater range and the ability to transverse outdoor terrain. Most mobility scooters have a range of options, check with our recommended suppliers for the different options available with different models. Types of Mobility Scooters 3 Wheeled Mobility Scooters - These types of power scooters are the most maneuverable. They are ideal for riders who must operate in tight spaces. Their high turning radii allow them to make turns most 4 wheeled scooters can't. 4 Wheeled Mobility Scooters - Designed more for stability and less for maneuverability. Not as good for tighter quarters but great for outdoor use. Fold Up Mobility Scooters - Designed to help individuals take their scooters with them on trips. Other non-folding models may need the use of a l...

AED Defibrillators by Soma Technology, Inc.

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable electronic device that can audibly prompt and deliver an electric shock that will disrupt or stop the heart's dysrhythmic electrical activity. The shock will not start a dead heart, but it will stop certain lethal rhythms and give the heart a chance to spontaneously re-establish an effective rhythm on its own. According to the American Heart Association, CPR rescue attempts using electric defibrillation or AED’s improves survival rates by as much as 49%. The fact that most sudden cardiac deaths occur away from hospitals is the reason why there are cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) programs for EMS level personnel and for laypersons. Two early problems with recognizing and caring for heart attack patients are being resolved. The first problem, delay in starting CPR, has been dramatically reduced through the training of more citizens who can administer CPR before EMS personnel arrive. The second problem stems from the fact t...

A new way to make cheap insulin

A group of German researchers have now developed a new method to cheaply produce insulin for the treatment of   diabetes   . The team wanted to develop a new procedure to increase the yield of an   insulin   precursor from which the actual insulin can be obtained, and in this way reduce costs. They used a yeast called Pichia pastoris and modified the cells so that they produce the building block for insulin while growing on a special medium. The results were highly gratifying: “With our procedure,   Pichia pastoris   delivers high yields – twice as much as known before”, says Ursula Rinas. “Already with few cells it is possible to produce a lot of the insulin precursor.” Today, human insulin is produced in two different ways. One route involves the production of the insulin precursor using the well-known baker’s yeast   Saccharomyces cerevisiae   . The newly described method from Ursula Rinas and her group also uses this route. ...
