EUOREPAN CE MARK - HOW TO OBTAIN CE MARKING?

Immagine
Many products require CE marking before they can be sold in the  EEA  ( EU + Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway). CE marking proves that your product had been assessed and meets EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. It is valid for products manufactured both inside and outside the EEA, that are then marketed inside the EEA. To affix the CE marking to your product, you must put together a technical dossier proving that your product fulfils all the EU-wide requirements. As the product's manufacturer, you bear sole responsibility for declaring conformity with all requirements. Once your product bears the CE marking, you might have to provide your distributors and/or importers with all the supporting documentation concerning CE marking. More information>Click Here

NON-ABSORBABLE, EXPANDABLE, HEMOSTATIC SPONGE FOR TEMPORARY INTERNAL USE

Immagine
Using injectable, fast absorbing sponges, the Stat can seal wounds in 15 seconds or less, potentially saving lives. XStat® is a first-in-kind hemostatic device for the treatment of gunshot and shrapnel wounds. XStat works by injecting a group of small, rapidly-expanding sponges into a wound cavity using a syringe-like applicator. Each sponge contains an x-ray detectable marker. In the wound, the XSTAT sponges expand and swell to fill the wound cavity within 20 seconds of contact with blood. This creates a temporary barrier to blood flow and provides hemostatic pressure.  Link to video - Press> Click Here Link to instructional video> Click Here Abstract and photo by  Revmed X web site
