Pulse Oximeters For the Armed Forces

The armed forces encounter the same medical issues as regular patients do if not under more complex and critical situations. Armed forces medics need an effective and easy to carry medical device to quickly and accurately measure the vital signs of injured soldiers. A portable fingertip oximeter from Landon Medical has proved to be a just what the armed forces needs for vital sign monitoring out in the field.

A portable fingertip oximeter is a device that measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate with accuracy and easy. Through the use of innovative pass thru technology the oximeter can measure pulse rate and Sp02 in any climate setting including extreme cold, heat, humidity, and altitude. Previously, medics had to rely on bulky, heavy pulse oximeter machines that were not very easy to transport quickly in the battlefield. However, now with the advent of portable oximetry technology from Landon Medical, medics can perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively while saving lives.

In particular two Landon Medical models are a great fit for armed forces applications. The LM-6100 is a portable, hand held pulse oximeter that provides all the features of a pulse oximeter, but also provides data storage capability that can subsequently be downloaded and analyzed on a computer back at base for medical diagnosis. The LM-6100 oximeter has excellent durability which can withstand drops and vibrations often experienced in the battle field. Small enough to fit in the pocket of the medic, the LM-6100 oximeter has been manufactured specially with the needs of armed forces medical personnel out in the field.

Landon Medical leads the pulse oximeter in providing the most cost effective and effective pulse oximeters in industry. With great expertise in dealing with government agencies and branches, Landon Medical continuously strives to develop more oximeter technology keeping in mind the needs of our men and women of the armed forces.
