Actalyke® XL - ACT Analyzer
Accurate Activated Clotting Time (ACT) testing is essential for monitoring heparin therapy during cardiac procedures. Actalyke instruments and reagent tubes provide the sensitivity, reliability and rapidity needed for timely treatment decisions at the point of care.
All Actalyke instruments use a two-point clot detection mechanism, enabling clot detection at the early fibrin formation stage with less variation due to clot fragility. This provides greater precision, especially on highly heparinized and diluted samples. The Actalyke XL is a premier analyzer offering dual-well testing, excellent reproducibility and strong data handling features. The XL is fully compatible with all ACT tubes. Helena offers a full line of ACT tubes, including traditional glass bead, kaolin, celite® plus new MAX-ACT. This brochure is available by contacting Helena's Literature Services at 800-231-5663

HemoHeel® Infant Heel Incision Device
Nothing is more tender than an infant. That's why HemoHeel heel incision devices are designed with those tiny toes in mind. It has to be just right every time - optimal blood flow for accuracy in testing, with minimal injury to the infant.
All infant heel stick devices control the blade length, but only HemoHeel controls the pressure used to penetrate the skin. That is the only way to truly control the depth of the cut. Press a typical device to the skin too hard and it cuts too deep. Not hard enough yields poor sampling and errant test results. HemoHeel is the answer.
HemoHeel is a smart device that is simple to use. As HemoHeel is pressed to the skin, it actuates itself when the right pressure is reached, creating a precise surgical incision at a controlled depth. The incision is just right every time. This brochure and samples are available by contacting Helena's Literature Services at 800-231-5663.
