admin 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

Category Interventional Cardiology Endovascular Typical Use Dilate stenotic vessels and prepare lesions for stent placement. Description A catheter with an inflatable balloon near its tip that is positioned across a vascular stenosis and inflated to compress atherosclerotic plaque, restore luminal diameter, and improve blood flow, commonly used in coronary, peripheral, and renal interventions. Balloon selection … Read more
Category Vascular Access Typical Use Provide central venous access for medications, monitoring, or dialysis. Description A sterile kit containing components for placement of a central venous catheter into large central veins (internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral) to deliver vasoactive medications, parenteral nutrition, hemodialysis, or to monitor central venous pressure. Central line insertion requires ultrasound guidance, … Read more
Category Anesthesia Drug Delivery Typical Use Vaporize and deliver precise concentrations of volatile anesthetic agents. Description A calibrated device mounted on anesthesia machines that converts liquid volatile anesthetics into controlled vapor concentrations for inhalational anesthesia, with agent specific designs and safety features to prevent cross contamination and ensure accurate dosing. Vaporizer selection and maintenance, along … Read more
