2006 Hot Products: The 33 most
innovative new products from EMS Today
By FRAN HILDWINE, BS, NREMT-P, CCEMT-P
Every year, JEMS showcases recently released products
designed to help EMS providers do their jobs more efficiently and
safely. This March, the JEMS product review team spent two
days combing the exhibit hall at the 24th annual EMS Today
Conference & Exposition in Baltimore. The team of seasoned field
providers, educators and EMS procurement specialists met with 227
exhibitors, reviewing products recently introduced to our industry
and asking about product design, rationale, function and practical
application for prehospital medicine. These are the team's picks for
the hottest new products unveiled within the previous six months.

Light Up That Vein
PIN-LITE by Embo-Optics LLC is a 2" chemical light stick clipped to
the IV catheter that provides vein illumination via a cold light.
It's ideal for situations that require light discipline and a
reduced heat signature. Look for a more in-depth field trial of the
PIN-LITE in an upcoming issue of JEMS.
