A better diagnosis

We know that the quality of care you offer to your patients is your highest priority. Your patients deserve the best and so do you. To improve the detection of skin cancer, it is important to equip yourself with the best devices available, and that is a DermLite dermatoscope. DermLite devices enable you to differentiate between malignant melanomas, and other benign skin conditions. Every dermatoscope comes with 10x magnification lens, multiple light sources, and the best performance available in any dermatoscopes available. To ensure you’re looked after, every DermLite comes with a 10-year warranty as standard, and our repairs and service team are on hand to help if the worst does happen.

Detecting melanomas can be tricky, but a DermLite dermatoscope is your best friend to help you identify cancerous lesions. The technological advancements over recent years allow us to detect melanomas quickly and accurately with companies such as DermLite leading the way in the future of dermoscopy.

We won’t get into all the amazing products DermLite have to offer but here are some of our favourites.

DermLite DL4 – The best in class

The DL4 is the latest dermatoscope from the DermLite range and encompasses tested and proven features with the latest skin technology for effective and optimum diagnostics to be made. Since its creation, it’s set the benchmark for what a dermatoscope can be. An amazingly smooth, ergonomically optimised all-aluminium design that comfortably moulds to your hand. The DL4 gives you the power to change lives and save lives, all in the palm of your hand.

24 LEDs (12 pol., 6 non-pol & 6 orange pol.) allowing you to view deeper layers of the skin. The devices’ amazing lighting modes provide a clear and accurate examination of skin layers in just a click of a button.

25% smaller than the previous generation but has the largest field of view in the pocket scope range, with its ø30mm lens. The DL4 allows for a broader view of the skin - increasing the chance of detection of cancerous moles or lesions. The largest lens available in any dermatoscope makes for an easier and accurate diagnosis to be made.

Switch to orange only LEDs with PigmentBoost and PigmentBoost Plus for maximum visualisation of pigmented structures within skin lesions, particularly for those of darker skin.

The DL4 is all about offering you choice and control. With a removable glass faceplate, simply snap this offer for contact dermoscopy without crushing the structure of the lesions. The DL4 also features a MagnetiConnect ring which offers you easy and quick connection to any tablet, phone or camera (additional device required). All this works in tandem to give you the best dermatoscope that money can buy.

A retractable contact plate design which allows you to switch between non-contact & contact modes smoother than ever – without having to remove any parts – and lets you precisely focus your image while in skin contact.

A sleek and curved metallic body that moulds to your hand. The DL200 Hybrid is the definition of pocket power. The DL200 Hybrid, with its smooth, easy-to-clean exterior allows for quick disinfection. When direct skin contact is needed, DL200’s Infection Control system IceCap® has you covered: Disposable Snap-On IceCap® infection control caps attach to the glass faceplate and may greatly reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

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
