ABOUT SAMASU   The health system in Sudan is a three-tier system. The federal level is concerned with policy making, planning, supervision, co- ordination, international relations and partnership. The state governments are empowered for planning, policy making and implementation at state level while the localities are concerned mostly with policy implementation and service delivery

including health, education, and development. Sudan is significantly increasing spending on medical equipment as part of overall improvement in healthcare facilities. However, medical diagnostics in Sudan have been lagging behind for decades and the use of high technology equipment in medical field is a new phenomenon. The base line is very low and there is huge potential for a lot more activity in this area of medical care. Samasu Medical and Educational services (SMES) represents some of the most respected multinational medical and pharmaceutical companies in the world through formal agency agreements for distributing, marketing and selling pharmaceutical and medical equipment brands. SMES is a unique player in the field of Sudanese healthcare provision with several strengths in the business, technical, administrative and public relations fronts; we draw on business experience, technical expertise and resources unavailable in the market. This strength and depth is emphasized by the strong presence of the company not only in Sudan but also in Europe and the Middle East, it provides added agility, speed of operations and easy access to international sources of products and information.

History and styleSince 1935 Castellini has, through its dental units, shown a combined belief in tradition and technology. Elegance, utmost quality and careful attention paid to the many complex operative requirements are the values which form a basis for a concrete design culture. The Castellini passion for dentistry is expressed by the style of its dental units.

Castellini is keen to tell a new story ‐ a story made up of innovation, style, Italian character and most importantly, reliability. Growth is a characteristic of every story; recognisingand building on it is a plus.Today, Castellini is back to tell of how the company has grown, how it works in project research and how it combines values of tradition and innovation.

Skema 8

Surgical functionsSkema 8 offers the prefect implantology configuration: Implantor LED induction micromotor, peristaltic pump integrated on the dentist’s module and a cutting-edge control panel. Designed to smooth interaction with devices during treatment, the control panels let dentists personalise and save all parameters such as speed, torque and

peristaltic pump delivery rate quickly and easily, leaving them free to focus on the task at hand and the patient’s wellbeing.The control panel also allows equally efficient, simple management of the micromotor Endo mode: once again, all the settings (including the Normal, Reverse and Autoreverse functions) can be set and saved immediately.

Advanced controlHighly advanced control means that dentists can focus exclusively on their work and their patients.Full Touch is a large touch screen display (5.7”); made of tempered glass, it can be completely sanitised, offers excellent resistance to impact and scratching and, above all, provides fast user-friendly control of all dental unit functions.The information shown on the Full Touch control panel can also be personalised: at the touch of a key dentists can choose between basic information or more advanced settings allowing more comprehensive personalisation of the way dynamic instruments and integrated hygiene system devices are used.

Live DiagnosisBased on a Linux platform and featuring a powerful latest-generation microprocessor, the Full Touch control panel offers several exclusive features: the ability to view X-rays in full-screen mode, manage certain graphic parameters, save them on a USB storage device or transfer them to an integrated monitor or connected PC.

Implantor LED Micromotor Latest-generation brushless micromotor, with its low-noise operation and minimal weight, Implantor LED is vibration-free and characterized by extremely high torque and outstanding reliability. Top performance for all specialist applications. Completely autoclavable.

Micromotor features:• 100 up to 40,000 rpm with 1:1 ratio • electronic torque control up to 5.3 Ncm • possibility of pre-setting maximum speed

LAECThe Castellini Electronic Apex Locator offers maximum efficiency and clinical safety in endodontic treatments. The file position inside the root canal is shown on the display unit integral with the dental unit. When the apex distance threshold programmed by the operator is reached, the LAEC will emit a warning tone. (optional).

Thanks to the large 5.7” display, the visualisation of the procedure is extremely clear.

The Patient Chair

SlidingThe sliding function provides four key advantages: synchronised movement of the patient chair maintains patient comfort and keeps the distance ratios between operating zone and the two dental unit modules constant; it allows patient repositioning without having to move the operating light in that its beam remains pointed at the oral cavity; lastly, there is a much more easier-to-use space around the tilted backrest compared to that provided by a chair without the sliding function.All this is made possible thanks to the exclusive synchronized movement of seat and backrest: while the backrest is lowered, the seat slides forward and is raised.

Design in movementThe structural solidity of the Skema 8 is its patient chair, silent-running with fluid movements, powerful and reliable thanks to its hydraulic mechanism. It provides excellent patient comfort and, thanks to an extensive height adjustment range, can be placed at the ideal height whatever the operating circumstances. Movements can be managed directly or by using saved programs that include twelve working positions, rinse function, return to last working position and automatic reset. Backrest tilt is coordinated with the knee joint area to bring the patient into the Trendelenburg position. Asymmetric shaping of the lumbar area of the backrest and an offset backrest-seat joint provides the dentist with an unhindered approach to the patient.

Suction Stop devicePressing the chair base causes temporary suspension of suction with the cannulae extracted. Both the backrest and base plate are equipped with a safety device that prevents any risk of crushing.

SeatsThe exclusive C9 anatomical seat is designed to provide a physiologically correct, healthy working position: broad vertical excursion, adjustable thigh support, vertically and horizontally adjustable backrest with compensation system for continuous lumbar support.Also available to the medical team are the comfortable yet practical C7 and C8 seats.

Pneumatic headrestThe pneumatic headrest pivots on 3 axes to allow quick, precise positioning of the patient’s head. The headrest can be released easily thanks to a button located at the bottom.

Ready for today’s needs and all set for tomorrow’s evolution

2D examsAn extensive range of bidimensional examinations also covering specific requirements such as orthogonal projections, bitewing exposures, advanced TMJ views.

CephalometricsTo perform cephalometric projections, you can opt for a second sensor, but the option of a relocatable sensor is also possible. The single sensor can be switched to and from the ceph arm and incorporates a no-risk safety device to prevent it being dislodged accidentally.

With the X-Radius Trio open platform concept, you can upgrade in no time at all for tomorrow’s evolving requirements. In addition to its comprehensive range of standard and specialised 2D examinations, X-Radius Trio is ready to incorporate cephalometric options and everything needed to obtain clinical 3D radiographic images, whenever you wish.

3D radiographyA straightforward upgrade to volumetric examinations is a no more than a step away from your initial purchase. With 3D capability, one scan generates a wealth of data taking you into a wider realm of diagnostic imaging.

Reduced FOV for specific needsProper adjustment of the FOV means your patients receive considerably lower X-ray doses. A reduced FOV is recommended for full arch scans of children’s upper and lower jaws. A 5 x 5 cm Ø FOV is suitable for localised diagnostic requirements, as in the case of single implant planning, certain endodontic procedures or third molar extractions.

*Extended View This extended FOV is obtained via a single acquisition with dual exposure times.

High resolution, low emissionX-Radius Trio offers two different volumetric scan modes for each FOV:• Peak resolution with 75µm voxel images achieved with an exposure time of just 9 seconds (pulsed mode emission).• High resolution images with an extremely low radiogenic dose thanks to pulsed mode exposure totalling a mere 3.6 seconds.

Full arch volumetric scans for complete diagnostic dataThe most important aspect of 3D imaging is linked to the field of view (FOV). Small FOV are fine for localised diagnostics, whereas full arch 3D scans of adult dentition are only technically possible with an adequate field of view, which is at least Ø 10 cm. Castellini goes even further to give you a Ø 11 cm FOV.

FOV and image detector to suit your needsX-Radius Trio allows you the chance to choose a small or large image detector when you equip your surgery. This determines the height of the 3D scans you make, going from 5 to 8 cm. With a Ø 11 cm FOV, the region examined will cover third molars and their surrounding bone structure, allowing you to plan multiple implants, also with the use of surgical drilling guides.With the Extended View function, the height of the examined area is set at 8 cm enabling simultaneous scanning of both upper and lower jaw.When equipped with a large image detector, the Extended View function allows the height of the examined area to be increased to 13 cm, also making it possible to acquire the maxillary sinuses at the same time.

High resolution Peak resolution

A dedicated sensor for each imaging modalityNothing is left to chance when the right technology is at hand. Dedicated 14-bit image detectors for 2D imaging and 16-bit Amorphous Silicon detectors for 3D scans ensure the sharpest of images thanks to a specific dynamic range for each imaging modality.

360° scanThe best way to avoid artefacts in the resulting image: volumetric acquisition based on a full 360° scan.

Steadiness firstA rigid positioning system with no less than 7 support points, including a chin rest, an adjustable forehead support and a replaceable bite block, ensures constant stability during the scan, an essential pre-requisite for sharp volumetric images.

Simple, speedy positioning systemThanks to the innovative positioning system, designed to maximise comfort for both patient and operator, the former can be aligned using a highly flexible procedure that involves just a few simple steps, thus ensuring examinations are carried out correctly whatever the projection.

Laser-guided positioningThanks to laser guides, lining up the patient is fast and precise. 4 laser positioning guides are available for 3D and 2D projections; 1 laser positioning guide for teleradiographic projections (Frankfurt Plane).

Unerupted maxillary third molarThorough radiographic assessment, showing the intricate roots in sharp detail; this level of diagnosis is achieved without multiple radiographic projections; one exam does it all.

Panoramic projectionsA sampler of three very different morphologies: a child, an adult and an elderly patient benefiting from Wide Focus panoramic projection.

A better experience for the best resultsWhen you can count on a relaxed patient, the positioning process is not only faster and friendlier, it also leads to more accurate results in terms of image quality. No walls, panels or mirrors. No claustrophobic feelings to make your patients anxious or fidgety. Just you to reassure them and help achieve the best possible results.

Superior kinematicsX-Radius Trio adopts a specially coordinated movement pattern comprising one rotary movement combined with two simultaneous translatory movements. This ensures constant magnification in all projections, resulting in highly reliable diagnostic images. Simple kinematics with just one translatory movement would result in uneven magnification.

A thorough investigation of left and right TMJs, combining Lateral projections of TMJ in open and closed mouth positions and Postero-Anterior projections. Such an outcome is achieved thanks to a precise identification of the position of condyles, using laser guides.

Outstanding panoramic imagery made simpleX-Radius Trio offers dozens of different examination types covering all possible 2D requirements. For each single program, radiographic data acquired is based on a dedicated radiogenic trajectory. This means optimised data, not cropped views based on more generic trajectories.

Competitor equipment: 1 rotary movement and

1 simultaneous translatory movement only.

The focal trough adapts to morphology and misses out on none of the vital details. The simultaneous translatory movements keep the X-ray detector at a constant distance from the midline of the dental arch, throughout the entire scan, so that the image magnification is constant and uniform in the resulting radiograph.

Onboard controls for simple proceduresAvailable for both 2D and 3D scans, Morphology Recognition Technology avoids all needs to manually program exposure times, kV or mA technical factors or even choose patient size. Clear graphics and straightforward controls reduce time while your patient stands ready for the scan. Simplicity in all imaging modes makes for faster procedures and a more relaxed patient experience.

Scout MethodPrior to 3D scans, a two dimensional preview image is obtained to identify the exact region of interest. Thanks to its servo-controlled kinematics, X-Radius Trio will automatically reposition the FOV according to any adjustments made by the operator with a simple mouse click. These scout images are acquired at extremely low dosage and ensure that acquisition will not need to be repeated due to possible alignment errors.

Step-by-step acquisition processImproving workflow, either through a user-friendly interface, purpose-oriented software or pre-acquisition tools to guide you is part of our philosophy.

Ultra-high-speed processing and easy-to-use softwareWith the supplied software, you can select the interface most suited to your professional needs, from oral and maxillofacial surgery for dental surgeons to the more specific needs of a radiologist.

Real time data evaluationEven 3D data is processed in less than a minute, but what really matters is that you can navigate between all different views without requiring the software to re-process the previously generated data.Thanks to multiple desktop management the software system conserves all views on screen, so you can skip from one set of data to another on screen.2D and 3D images can be viewed simultaneously, making subsequent surgery safer and simpler thanks to the precision and amount of available data.

Third party compatibilityData is exported in DICOM® standard format and has been validated by all major and most widely-used third party implant systems.

DICOM is the registered trademark of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association for its standards publications relating to digital communications of medical information.

Complex data made simpleFeeling at ease when you are manipulating complex 3D data is reassuring. The quantity and quality of the information X-Radius Trio provides and the simple way you can manage that data makes for a clearer diagnosis and helps effective planning, ready for efficient treatment.

Pre-loaded librariesA selection of implant models are pre-loaded, but you can also generate your own made-to-measure models.

Implant planningData comprising bone density, position of the mandibular canal and virtual implant models will make implant surgery a faster process.

C-17 PLUS, C-22 PLUS and C-28 PLUSCastellini combines excellent materials, technology and intuitive controls to bring outstanding performance and ensure operative simplicity during sterilisation procedures in the dental surgery.

The new C-17 PLUS, C-22 PLUS and C-28 PLUS steam sterilisers, respectively with 17, 22 and 28-litre capacity, represent the most advanced equipment in terms of security, speed and traceability. Both sterilisers feature a colour LCD touch-screen display unit to facilitate cycle management and programming.

Adding value by detailsIn order to provide dental staff with the best functional solutions, Castellini implements a series of features designed to ensure greater security and quality throughout the sterilisation process. Furthermore, the modular concept on which this equipment is based, allows for later upgrading without the need to invest in special adapters or extra software.Stable process parameters are achieved thanks to a high-performance steam generator and double-head vacuum pump. The sterilisation chamber is made entirely of electro-polished stainless steel for longer life and a constantly high level of sterilisation quality. The locking mechanism is easy to use and extremely secure; it also allows emergency recovery of the load in the event of a power failure.

LED illumination on the front of the autoclave provides ergonomic lighting for staff in all environments. The fill and drain tanks are accessed via extra large doors making inspection and maintenance convenient. Another ergonomic feature regards the quick couplings for manual filling and draining procedures. An automatic water feed system is available taking demineralised water from an external tank. This can be set up as a permanent connection to the demineralisation device for additional efficiency and simplicity.An inbuilt conductivity sensor inside the fill tank automatically checks distilled water quality and advises staff via a special warning icon on the display when water quality is unsuitable for use, thus avoiding potential damage to the autoclave. Added protection is granted thanks to the anti-dust filter which protects the steam condensation system and the inside of the steriliser.

Technical assistanceCastellini technical service staff are available for customer requirements and will provide immediate support thanks to the remote connection capabilities that are incorporated into the steriliser.

Touch-screen interfaceEfficiency and clarity are key aspects when it comes to dealing with sterilisation and the touch-screen interface makes the process both faster and easier for surgery staff. Each program has an associated icon and staff can manage the equipment according to their specific needs and usage.Considering the frequency with which sterilisation procedures are required, long-lasting efficiency becomes a key issue in any surgery. A warning icon warns staff whenever simple maintenance tasks are necessary to keep equipment in perfect conditions.

Fingertip simplicityEnabling staff to optimise workflow is the primary advantage of the high-tech interface. Data management and traceability for any sterilisation cycle is easily achieved via the touch-screen display in full compliance with professional standards. Staff simply enter their personal identification code and obtain full process data after each cycle. Internal memory on each steriliser records cycle data which can be downloaded in PDF format via a USB port or Ethernet connection. The optional Wi-Fi module is a practical alternative to standard connectivity enabling cycle data transmission and cycle status to tablets and smartphones for remote monitoring. Sterilisation cycles can be pre-set during the day to start at night when energy costs may be lower, so that material is ready for use the next day. Staggered start times on separate devices will also help avoid overloading the electrical supply system instead of running several devices simultaneously. Furthermore, combined test cycles can be set to start prior to surgery opening times, as and when required.

Maximum safety and maximum reliability are the primary characteristics of the C-17, C-22 and C-28 autoclaves. Both are achieved thanks to ease of use and exceptional practicality that arise from a down-to-earth concept.

Attention to design details and simplicity make the 17, 22 and 28-litre models user-friendly and the ideal partner in the surgery. An LCD display features clear controls and provides essential information regarding cycle status and the integrated keypad allows staff to enter data and program the equipment as required.

Select your ideal set-upEach autoclave can be fitted with a series of features that improve surgery workflow as far as the sterilisation procedures are concerned. Water level sensors in the supply tank provide automation of the water feed system and the quality of the distilled water is checked by a conductivity sensor which will warn of unsuitable conditions for steam sterilisation. A quick coupling system assists in manual fill and drain procedures and speeds up the entire process. The autoclave can also be connected to a demineralisation device and water can be drawn from an external tank via an automatic filling system. An anti-dust filter ensures no impurities in the cooling air enter the autoclave or penetrate into the steam condensation system which would consequently compromise results to a certain extent.

Lifetime qualityMany aspects of these sterilisers have been implemented to guarantee long-life service and constant reliability. The steam generator and double-head vacuum pump, together with the superior quality of the sterilisation chamber, are the basis of both performance and durability. Also, thanks to the software and LCD interface, staff are advised when scheduled maintenance tasks are necessary to keep performance at top levels and provide quality results and equipment efficiency over time. Long-term safety is also ensured with the new door locking mechanism allowing for load recovery even in case of power cuts.

Data transferData regarding each completed sterilisation cycle are immediately recorded on the internal memory of the steriliser. Subsequently, these data can be downloaded and transferred to a PC using a simple USB storage device. Each operator uses their own personal ID code to interact with the autoclave via the LCD panel in order to select programs and retrieve data, making workflow simple and ensuring correct traceability.
