Cell-sampling devices are minimally invasive tools that are utilized for the collection of cellular material from patients to provide further information to doctors for diagnosis. Rovers®Cell Sampling Devices are based on "thin-hair technology". Samples collected can be processed with conventional or liquid based cytology (LBC), bacteriological testing, virus testing (e.g. for Sexually Transmitted Diseases or HPV) and DNA analysis.
General practitioner clinics play an essential role in delivering healthcare to communities and reduces the healthcare burden on hospitals by treating common medical conditions. Clinic practitioners often outsource their services to central laboratories due to the limitation of space and resources, which often take an extended period of time to be relayed back resulting in multiple patient visitations and delayed diagnosis. Compact and economical equipment have thus been developed to provide timely solutions to clinics to allow for on-the-spot diagnosis and action.
Healthcare associated infections have remained as a significant burden on hospitals due to the unnecessary increase of care required. Most healthcare facilities possess an infection control department in efforts to reduce the burden. However, existing methods to monitor their sanitization effectiveness are hampered due to tedious protocols and slow processing times. Therefore, we have poised ourselves to provide timely solutions which allows for immediate action on outbreaks and prevention measures to reduce its incidence.
Non-invasive methods of imaging is crucial and beneficial in determining causes of injury, diagnosis confirmation and monitoring of illnesses. Among them, ultrasound is a pivotal tool with widespan application to visualise internal body structures safely, without any radiation that may be harmful.
