Information About Radiology
Category Respiratory Support Transport Typical Use Provide mechanical ventilation for infants and children during transport and in resource limited settings. Description A compact ventilator with pediatric modes and safeguards designed for transport and bedside use, offering volume and pressure targeted ventilation with alarms and battery backup for safe respiratory support outside the ICU.
Category Anesthesia Neurology Typical Use Perform lumbar puncture with reduced postdural puncture headache risk. Description A pencil point or atraumatic spinal needle designed to separate dural fibers rather than cut them, reducing cerebrospinal fluid leak and the incidence of postdural puncture headache while enabling diagnostic or therapeutic lumbar puncture and spinal anesthesia.
Category Imaging Interventional Typical Use Provide real time fluoroscopic imaging for surgical and interventional guidance. Description A mobile X ray imaging system with a C shaped arm that provides continuous fluoroscopic visualization during orthopedic, vascular, and general surgical procedures to guide instrument placement, implant positioning, and contrast based interventions. C arm use requires radiation safety … Read more
Category Respiratory Support Home Medical Equipment Typical Use Provide continuous or intermittent supplemental oxygen by concentrating ambient air. Description A device that extracts and concentrates oxygen from room air to deliver enriched oxygen to patients with chronic hypoxemic respiratory conditions in home or clinical settings, offering an alternative to compressed gas cylinders with continuous flow … Read more
Category Orthopedic Fixation Typical Use Temporary or definitive skeletal fixation and pinning. Description Thin, smooth or threaded stainless steel wires used for provisional fracture fixation, skeletal traction, or as guides for definitive implants; K wires are inserted percutaneously or through small incisions and require secure external fixation or bending to prevent migration.
Category Surgical Access Typical Use Create ports for laparoscopic instruments. Description A sharp obturator and hollow sleeve (cannula) used to penetrate the abdominal wall and establish working ports for laparoscopic instruments and scopes, enabling minimally invasive access to the peritoneal cavity. Trocar insertion requires careful technique to avoid injury to viscera and blood vessels, and … Read more
Category Radiation Safety PPE Typical Use Protect ocular tissues from scatter radiation during imaging. Description Specialized eyewear with leaded lenses that attenuate scatter radiation to the eyes during fluoroscopic and interventional procedures, reducing cumulative occupational dose and cataract risk.
Category Orthopedic Biomaterial Typical Use Provide osteoconductive scaffold or osteoinductive factors when autograft is limited. Description Synthetic or biologic materials such as calcium phosphate ceramics, demineralized bone matrix, or recombinant growth factors used to augment or replace autologous bone graft in spinal fusion, fracture repair, and reconstructive surgery, offering off the shelf options that reduce … Read more
Category Pathology Frozen Section Typical Use Prepare frozen tissue sections rapidly for intraoperative diagnosis. Description A refrigerated microtome that freezes fresh tissue specimens and allows rapid sectioning and staining in the operating room or pathology suite to provide immediate diagnostic information such as margin status or tumor type during surgery, guiding intraoperative decisions. Cryostat operation … Read more
Category Drug Delivery Analgesia Typical Use Allow patients to self administer controlled bolus doses of analgesic medication. Description A programmable infusion device that permits patients to self administer preset bolus doses of opioid or nonopioid analgesics within safety limits to manage acute postoperative or cancer related pain while reducing delays in analgesia and improving patient … Read more
