Most people ignore the fact that your toothbrush is one of the most unsanitary things in you own.  The DUO Portable Toothbrush Sanitizer holds two toothbrushes and uses a UV light to eliminate up to 99.9 percent of germs thriving on your toothbrushes. The Violight Duo is the first portable toothbrush sanitizer and will keep them safe and clean while on the road.

While not on the road, the Violight Duo’s included wall mount bracket that will keep your toothbrushes clean 24 by 7, right where you need them.  When you are ready to roll again, it just slips right off the bracket.  The unit is very simply to use as well.  Just insert your toothbrush, close the lid, and the sanitizing 7 minute cycle begins and ends automatically.   And as an added bonus, it includes two free toothbrushes…

Invented by Dr. David Watmough, the Breastlight is a new device that women can use to monitor changes to their breasts over time – right from the comfort of their own home. When used properly, the device can help women become more breast aware and detect early stages of breast cancer.

The Breastlight is compact and leverages the latest technological advancements as used in specialized hospitals and clinics. Because the unit uses red LED to shine a light through breast tissue, its best when used in very dark spaces.

The light helps you see veins, blood vessels, dark spots, and even new blood vessels, which can often indicate (and feed) new tumors that are cancerous.

The idea is that women can use the Breastlight to become more breast aware and familiar with
the normal, healthy state of their breasts. When something new appears, it’s easier for a woman to spot because it falls outside of what she’s used to seeing.

The Breastlight should not be used as a replacement for traditional mammograms. Rather, it’s a convenient way to stay atop your health in between doctor’s visits. It even helped one trial user to detect small dark areas in her left breast that were later confirmed by her doctor as a 2cm tumor.

The Breastlight has been available in the U.K. since November 2008 and is also available at Rexall pharmacies throughout Canada for $150 CAD. Sale of the Breastlight in the U.S. is currently under negotiation.

Signostics, a large medical equipment manufacturer, recently received FDA clearance on the Signos, the world’s smallest palm-sized ultrasound. In a world of ever-increasing medical costs, compact and cost-effective devices like the Signos may alter the way healthcare professionals practice medicine.

Looking much like a Blackberry (and about the same size), the Signos is a quick and cost-effective alternative for individual healthcare practitioners – making it possible to have ultrasound technology in their clinic at a fraction of the cost of traditional machinery.

The compact design means it’s convenient to keep in a pocket or wrapped around the neck like a stethoscope. It weighs just under a pound and the portability and “quick access” nature of the unit lends itself to numerous areas like emergency medicine, primary and critical care, pediatrics and palliative care. It’s also ideal for remote healthcare.

The machine can deliver high-resolution images anywhere, anytime for a variety of medical purposes like bladder and trauma assessments, screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm, internal bleeding, general obstetrics, and more.
