Information About Radiology
Category Neonatology Vascular Access Typical Use Establish central vascular access in neonates via umbilical vessels. Description A sterile kit containing catheters, introducers, and securement devices for placement of umbilical venous or arterial catheters to provide fluids, medications, blood sampling, and invasive monitoring in critically ill neonates, with careful attention to insertion technique and infection prevention. … Read more
Category Anesthesia Equipment Typical Use Support airway and gas delivery functions with filters, circuits, and scavenging. Description Consumables and connectors such as breathing circuits, heat moisture exchangers, bacterial filters, and scavenging adapters that ensure safe gas delivery, infection control, and environmental protection during anesthesia.
Category Wound Care Typical Use Interface dressing for negative pressure wound therapy. Description Open cell polyurethane foam dressings placed in the wound bed and sealed with an occlusive drape to transmit negative pressure uniformly, promote granulation tissue, and remove exudate when connected to a vacuum pump; foam selection and dressing technique influence therapy effectiveness and … Read more
Category Wound Closure Typical Use Noninvasive epidermal wound closure for small lacerations. Description Topical cyanoacrylate based adhesives applied to approximated skin edges to provide a waterproof barrier and closure without sutures for selected superficial wounds, offering rapid application and reduced need for follow up suture removal while requiring proper wound cleaning and patient instructions.
Category Neonatology Resuscitation Typical Use Deliver controlled peak inspiratory pressure and PEEP during neonatal resuscitation. Description A gas driven resuscitation device that allows precise control of inspiratory pressure and positive end expiratory pressure for newborns, improving ventilation consistency during initial stabilization and transport.
Category Perioperative Care Typical Use Warm intravenous fluids to prevent hypothermia. Description A device that warms intravenous fluids and blood products before infusion to maintain patient core temperature during surgery, trauma resuscitation, or massive transfusion, reducing the risk of hypothermia related coagulopathy and adverse outcomes. Fluid warmers use inline heating elements or warming cabinets and … Read more
Category Surgical Energy Sealing Typical Use Seal and divide tissue and vessels with ultrasonic energy. Description A device that uses high frequency mechanical vibration to denature proteins and create a coagulum for vessel sealing and tissue division with minimal thermal spread, commonly used in laparoscopic and open surgery to reduce blood loss and operative time … Read more
Category Neurosurgery Endoscopy Typical Use Visualize and treat intraventricular and skull base pathology minimally invasively. Description A rigid or flexible endoscope used to access ventricular systems and skull base regions for tumor biopsy, cyst fenestration, and third ventriculostomy, providing direct visualization with minimal brain retraction and enabling targeted interventions through small craniostomies or endonasal corridors.
Category Endoscopy Diagnostic Typical Use Obtain mucosal tissue samples during endoscopic procedures. Description Small, jawed forceps designed to pass through the working channel of endoscopes to pinch and retrieve mucosal tissue for histopathologic examination during gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and bronchoscopy, enabling diagnosis of inflammation, dysplasia, and malignancy. Forceps come in various cup sizes and designs e.g., … Read more
Category Laboratory Point of Care Typical Use Collect arterial blood for blood gas and electrolyte analysis. Description A preheparinized syringe and needle system designed for safe arterial blood sampling that preserves sample integrity for measurement of pH, PaO2, PaCO2, and electrolytes; it minimizes air contamination and metabolic changes between collection and analysis. Proper technique includes … Read more
