Dental

Compressed air is constantly used in every
dental clinic. Compressed air powers the turbines used for drilling, etc.
and the syringes also require compressed air.

Breathing aids
|
|
|
Ventilators
have a wide variety of uses in the medical field, including incubators,
anaesthesia and critical care in hospital environments as well as breathing
aids in private and nursing homes. Needless to say, the reliability of
the compressor used in such critical applications is of utmost importance.
Additionally, the air quality is essential due to the risk of
contamination. Quietness is of equal importance to the users of these
applications, considering that the equipment often is installed at the bedside
or in living areas of private homes. JUN-AIR has a long history as supplier
to some of the world's leading suppliers of ventilators, including
companies in the USA,
Europe as well as Asia.

Rehabilitation
/ fitness
|
|
|
In
order to prevent users of rehabilitation/fitness equipment from the
risk of damage due to heavy weights, more and more equipment now uses
compressed air as source of resistance. Equipment using compressed
air is easier to set and may be adjusted at smaller intervals.
Additionally, it provides optimal training effect for the muscles and
minimises damaging stress on joints and connective tissue of the human
body.

Orthopaedic
treatment/EWST
|
|
|
In
orthopaedic treatment for sports injuries and similar cases, pneumatically generated
shock waves are radially and extensively transmitted into the pain, almost
without any anaesthetic. The injuries for which this therapy is used
includes calcaneal spur, tennis elbow, patellar apex syndrome as well as
other forms of insertion tendinosis. The equipment if often used in private
clinics without centralized compressor systems and is, therefore,
often supplied with a small quiet compressor.

Stone management
|
|
|
Quiet
compressors are used with equipment for ultrasonic and pneumatic
lithotripsy for stone management in the bladder, kidney and ureter.

Veterinarian applications
|
|
|
Compressed air is also used for a number of products in
the veterinarian field.
Higher concern for pets has caused pet owners to increase their
awareness of dental care of pets. Consequently, veterinarians now invest in
equipments for practising dentistry on animals e.g. dogs, cats
and horses.
Compressed air is also used in radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in
the treatment of injured and chronically lame horses. Retirement from
racing due to injury and prolonged treatment can be very costly as breeds
of noble descent are valuable capital investments.

Ear-nose-throat
|
|
|
Most
doctors who have specialised in the treatment of ear, nose and throat
diseases use suction systems for which the suction is created by using
an air compressor.

Developement
of brain-injured children
|
|
|
Some
children with brain injuries have problems with the coordination of their
muscles which cause irregular breathing. Their treatment involves a
pneumatically powered vest, which stimulates and provides training for the
muscles, enabling the children to breathe at a regular rhythm.
