Countdown to BAD 2011

The 91st meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) is rapidly approaching. Schuco are proud to announce that this year we will be joined by representatives from Agfa Healthcare to promote the new OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) SKINTELL, which allows clinicians to see up to 1mm below the epidermis surface aiding diagnosis of skin disease and reducing painful and costly biopsies.

MoleMate Demonstration

MoleMate is latest technological advance in mole screening. A valuable device made especially for GPs and skin specialists, MoleMate assists and accelerates the diagnostic process. You begin by scanning a skin lesion; then by using the intuitive software, you can quickly decide whether you need to refer the patient, excise the lesion or confidently assure the patient the lesion is not harmful.

In this video you will see Wayne Hicks, Sales & Operations Manager at Schuco demonstrate how to use MoleMate.

• High resolution dermatoscopic view with up to 40x magnification
• Better diagnostic accuracy in comparison with the “Seven Point
Check-list” that is the current Gold Standard in Primary Care (p=0.02)1
• The only digital skin imaging technology to display haemoglobin,
melanin, dermal melanin and collagen (SIAscans)
• Scans within seconds, displaying high resolution SIAscan images,
that allow you to rapidly evaluate lesions
• Intuitive and easy to use software
• Includes the MoleMate clinically proven scoring system developed in
conjunction with GP practices & Cambridge University Teaching Hospital
• Share SIAscans with the patient on the spot, reassuring the patient
and increasing their confidence during and after the consultation

MoleMate at Primary Care

Wayne Hicks, the Sales and Operations Manager at Schuco, recently gave a demonstration of the MoleMate to professionals from Primary Care. The MoleMate is specifically designed with and for general practitioners and skin specialists.

Reasons to invest into a MoleMate:

•Accurate
•Rapid
•Patient friendly
• Easy to use
•Affordable

The MoleMate uses the powers of SIAscopy to assist and accelerate the diagnostic process of suspicious skin lesions. SIAscopy is a clinically proven, non-invasive skin imaging technology that can accurately detect melanoma at an early and treatable stage.

SIAscopy is the only technology that can look up to 2mm beneath the skin’s surface to provide five distinct images to aid diagnosis: haemoglobin, melanin, dermal melanin and collagen as well as a high resolution dermatoscopic view with up to 40x magnification.

MoleMate enables the medical professionl to quickly scan and make a decision to refer a patient, excise a lesion or immediately assure them that their lesion is not suspicious.

You can see up to 2mm beneath the skin.
