Schuco partnered with BAD for the British Association of Dermatologists Annual Meeting in Glasgow on Tuesday, July 5th, at the SEC centre, which welcomed Medically Trained HCPs and BAD members. Our new Online Academy has gone live with pre-launch registration, SchucoCare & SchucoCare +, our home skin monitoring device, and the DermLite HÜD 2. Visitors could see and experience the HÜD 2, a home skin monitoring device, along with all our latest scopes and our Horus Advanced skin imaging system.

Schuco appoints Dr. Awfa Paulina as Medical Director

Meet our new Medical Director, Dr. Awfa Paulina, and learn about the extensive expertise that he brings to Schuco.

Achieve more with the Surtron 120

The Surtron 120 is a diathermy unit designed for minimally invasive surgical procedures. It offers flexibility with its 5 operation modes:

• Cut – Produces a pure cut, allowing excisions similar to a scalpel.
• Blend – Combines the pure cut and coagulation modes into one mode. Ideal for operating in a haemostatic field, significantly improving their field of vision and reducing patient blood loss.
• Forced Coagulation – Creates resistance in the upper most layer of tissue resulting in superficial coagulation. Enables the removal of surface structures without damaging deeper or peripheral tissues as well as cauterising large surface areas quickly when required.
• Soft Coagulation – Deeper penetration of coagulation. Bleeding vessels can be sealed without carbonisation using the soft coagulation setting.
• Bipolar (with adapter) – Cauterise vessels during more complex procedures as well as easily removing raised lesions such as skin tags and warts.

For over 75 years, the Hyfrecator has been a top choice by healthcare professionals.

The Hyfrecator is a Surgical Diathermy Unit with both monopolar and bipolar modes. It produces a controlled electrical discharge of high frequency and high voltage, which selectively destroys tissue by the passage of electric current. Professionals experience simple use, precise tissue therapy, and years of safe, reliable operation.

The Hyfrecator allows precise destruction of all types of cutaneous lesion (both superficial and deep) and controls surgical bleeding simply, quickly and effectively.

It also provides controlled tissue coagulation and precise surgical haemostasis using bipolar coagulation.

Six Electrode Types

There are six types of electrodes that the Hyfrecator can use; sharp, blunt, bipolar, needle, ball, and blade. They are available sterile for use within surgical wounds, or non-sterile for use on the skin surface

Sharp tip electrodes and blades are ideal for procedures requiring pinpoint precision and control, while blunt tips are ideal for general broad-based coagulation.

Blunt and sharp tips are colour coded for rapid identification. The blunt electrodes are dark grey, and the sharp electrodes are white.

The Bipolar Forceps are designed to grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue. The electric current alternates between the two tips, reducing the length of the current’s path and producing a precise, controlled accurate effect.

A Ball electrode is used to cauterise tissue superficially and at depth or desiccate tissue using fulguration.

Needle electrodes are ideal for no-scalpel vasectomies, reducing difficulty and reducing chances of infection.

Treatments

The Hyfrecator is extremely versatile and the following treatments and lesions respond well to electrosurgery:

• Benign moles
• Dermatosis Papulosis Nigra
• Epilation
• Facial Telangiectasias
• Milia, Comedones, Small Cysts
• Pyogenic Granuloma
• Seborrhoeic keratoses
• Skin tags
• Spider Naevi / Angiomas, Syringomas
• Viral Warts
• Xanthelasma
• Vasectomy

Horus – The new dimension of video diagnostic in dermatology for the early detection of skin cancer

The Horus Systems offer Videodermoscopy and Videocapillaroscopy with integrated total-body mapping and sequential dermoscopy. Utilising the latest innovative technology, Horus delivers the best image quality for clear and accurate clinical diagnosis.

Manufactured in Italy, the Horus systems are transportable, ergonomic, and utilise modern technology such us multi-touch screen monitors to ensure they are easy and efficient to use in clinic.

Unlike the traditional dermatoscope with a long handle and bulky design, DermLite scopes bring in sleek, lightweight, pocket sized models. Every DermLite dermatoscope includes a magnification lens and LED lighting with most also featuring of polarising filters for glare reduction which eliminate the need for immersion fluids, allowing for a quicker, more convenient examination.

Start taking digital dermoscopic images with your DermLite dermatoscope by magnetically connecting your phone or tablet to your DermLite dermatoscope. The DermLite connections kits leaves all jacks and buttons accessible. The superior scratch and impact protection adds to the reasons why you can keep it attached to your phone or tablet all the time, even when you are not doing dermoscopy.
