Stet Clean is the first automatic wearable device for the disinfection of stethoscopes, specifically designed to ensure deep hygiene for patients through the action of UV LEDs. Stet Clean's action starts immediately, as soon as it comes into contact with the stethoscope, with the activation of the UV LED, which starts an immediate disinfection of the membrane. Stet Clean's unique and patented conical geometric design allows efficient disinfection of the stethoscope membrane. Laboratory tests have shown that in just 60 seconds, Stet Clean's technology can deactivate 85.5% E. faecalis, 87.5% S. aureus, 94.3% E. coli and 94.9% P. aeruginosa. Prolonged exposures ensure even higher levels of disinfection (more than 99%).
Other on-going activities including LED UV-C irradiation are under development (i.e. contact lens applications).
The El.En. group is one of the most important companies in the world of lasers. The search for technological excellence and production quality are the main characteristics. The companies of the group create products and advanced solutions with high performance, excellent value for money, reliable, environmentally friendly and followed by an effective and efficient after-sales service.
The El.En. group has become a point of reference in the field of lasers for medicine, industry and restoration. In particular, the medical division designs and manufactures lasers and light systems for all applications in the medical field. In over thirty years of activity and research, the competence, reliability, quality and technological innovation of the systems developed and produced by the various companies of the medical division (DEKA, Elesta, ASALaser, Asclepion, Quanta System, Esthelogue) have led the group to be among the leading global companies in this sector, present in more than 80 countries, with subsidiaries in France, Germany, Japan and the USA and with a widespread network of direct agents in Italy.
Elesta S.r.l. was founded in 2005 with the aim of developing innovative hi-tech therapeutic applications for interventional medicine. Our main product is EchoLaser: the first and unique integrated Laser-Ultrasound system that allows diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant lesions. EchoLaser uses the laser light transmitted through extremely thin optical fibres (0,3 mm) inserted percutaneously under a proprietary ultrasound guiding system. EchoLaser Therapy can induce a cytoreduction process on benign lesions (e.g.: BPH, thyroid nodules, etc.) or destroy cancerous tissue of malignant lesions (e.g.: metastatic lymph nodes, liver cancer, etc.). Generally no general anaesthesia is required. Procedures can be performed in outpatient regimen with consequent faster recovery after treatment.
Era Endoscopy S. r. l. is a company focused on research, development and marketing of medical devices with excellent performance in terms of safety and painless. Its first innovative medical system is Endotics®, the revolutionary, completely single-use endoscopic system with its unique robotic advancement mechanism for painless, safe and sedative colonoscopy with no need for sedation and perforation risks, with the possibility of biopsy sampling, easy to learn and perform for the physician.
Erre Quadro, through its multidisciplinary team of professionals in the disciplines of engineering of different specialization, physics, mathematics and computer science, offers innovative solutions to its customers, supporting their decision making processes through advanced analysis applications in the field of intellectual property. Thanks to patent analyses, it is possible to support the development of new products and technologies, collect structured information from which to identify the development strategies of its competitors, and verify the strategies for the protection of its design ideas.
Esaote is one of the world's leading manufacturers of biomedical equipment. It is an industrial group with over 30 years of experience in the production and marketing of ultrasound diagnostic systems (ultrasound, technical assistance and ultrasound systems for interventional purposes) and it is internationally recognized as a world leader in the field of dedicated magnetic resonance imaging.
