ECG System in a Glove
Filed under: Emergency Medicine
, Medicine
Commwell, a company out of Evanston, Illinois, has developed an ECG lead placement system that takes a lot of the guessing out of the process. The PhysioGlove is a 12 lead applicator that the patient holds down to his chest during the ECG. This gets rid of a all the individual wires that invariably get tangled and require a good deal of time to apply. The company received both European and US approval allowing marketing of the glove.
