Information About Radiology
admin Category Diagnostic Typical Use Record cardiac electrical activity. Description A device that records the heart’s electrical activity through surface electrodes placed on the chest and limbs, producing tracings that show rhythm, conduction intervals, and evidence of ischemia or infarction. ECGs are essential in emergency evaluation of chest pain, syncope, palpitations, and in routine cardiac assessment, … Read more
Category Dermatology Diagnostic Typical Use Detect pigmentary changes and certain infections under ultraviolet light. Description A handheld ultraviolet light source that accentuates epidermal pigmentary differences, porphyrin producing bacteria, and certain fungal infections by producing characteristic fluorescence patterns, aiding diagnosis of vitiligo, tinea versicolor, and erythrasma. Examination is performed in a darkened room with careful interpretation … Read more
Category Neonatology Critical Care Typical Use Provide thermoregulation and controlled environment for premature and ill neonates. Description A closed, temperature and humidity controlled chamber that supports thermoregulation, oxygen delivery, and monitoring for preterm and critically ill newborns, often integrated with access ports for caregiving and phototherapy compatibility. Incubators reduce heat loss, support metabolic stability, and … Read more

Category Urology Endoscopy Typical Use Visualize and treat ureteral and intrarenal pathology including stone removal. Description A flexible or rigid endoscope designed to access the ureter and renal collecting system for diagnostic inspection, laser lithotripsy, stone extraction, and biopsy, enabling minimally invasive management of urolithiasis and upper tract lesions. Ureteroscopy requires careful navigation, irrigation management, … Read more
Category Wound Closure Typical Use Rapidly approximate skin edges in trauma and surgical wounds. Description A handheld device that deploys metal staples to close skin incisions quickly, commonly used in emergency and operative settings for scalp and long incisions where speed and tensile strength are priorities; staple removal is performed after wound healing is adequate.
Category Laboratory Safety Typical Use Provide sterile workspace for cell culture and specimen handling. Description A ventilated cabinet that filters incoming and exhaust air through HEPA filters to create a sterile environment for tissue culture, specimen preparation, and manipulation of nonhazardous biological materials, protecting samples from contamination and operators from aerosolized particulates when used at … Read more
Category Breast Imaging Interventional Typical Use Target and sample nonpalpable mammographic lesions. Description A mammography guided biopsy platform that localizes calcifications or masses in three dimensions to guide percutaneous sampling with high accuracy, reducing need for surgical excision for diagnostic tissue retrieval.
Category Endovascular Access Typical Use Provide stable vascular access for catheters and devices during endovascular procedures. Description A short, hollow sheath inserted into an artery or vein to maintain access and allow repeated introduction and exchange of catheters, guidewires, and interventional devices while preserving hemostasis and minimizing vessel trauma. Introducer sheaths are available in multiple … Read more
