Information About Radiology
Category Vascular Access Resuscitation Typical Use Rapidly infuse IV fluids or blood under pressure. Description A reusable or disposable inflatable cuff placed around a fluid bag and pressurized to accelerate infusion rates during resuscitation or massive transfusion; device use requires monitoring of infusion lines, tubing integrity, and compatibility with blood products to avoid hemolysis.
Category Dermatology Procedural Typical Use Assist in grasping and extracting punch biopsy specimens. Description Fine forceps designed to gently grasp and elevate skin tissue during punch biopsy or excision procedures to facilitate specimen removal and minimize crush artifact that can compromise histologic interpretation. Proper instrument selection and atraumatic handling preserve tissue architecture for accurate pathology, … Read more
Category Anesthesia Regional Typical Use Guide peripheral nerve blocks with real time imaging. Description High frequency linear ultrasound transducers optimized for superficial nerve imaging that enable visualization of nerve structures, needle trajectory, and local anesthetic spread to increase block success and reduce complications compared with landmark techniques.
Category Pulmonology Procedural Typical Use Aspirate pleural fluid for diagnosis or symptomatic relief. Description A needle and catheter set used to safely access the pleural space under ultrasound guidance to remove fluid for analysis or relieve dyspnea, with attention to patient positioning, coagulation status, and postprocedure monitoring for pneumothorax.
Category Surgical Equipment Typical Use Create and maintain pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery. Description A device that delivers and regulates carbon dioxide gas into the peritoneal cavity to establish working space for laparoscopic visualization and instrument manipulation, controlling pressure, flow, and temperature to optimize surgical conditions and patient safety. Insufflation parameters influence cardiopulmonary physiology and require … Read more
Category Airway Management Long Term Airway Typical Use Provide a stable airway via a stoma for prolonged ventilation or airway protection. Description A curved tube inserted through a surgically created stoma in the anterior neck into the trachea to secure the airway for prolonged mechanical ventilation, facilitate pulmonary toilet, or bypass upper airway obstruction, available … Read more
Category Neonatology Resuscitation Typical Use Provide positive pressure ventilation to newborns during resuscitation. Description A small, anatomically shaped mask used with a self inflating bag or T piece resuscitator to deliver controlled ventilation to neonates at birth, requiring correct size selection and seal technique to ensure effective lung inflation while minimizing gastric insufflation.
Category Dental Operative Typical Use Remove saliva, blood, and debris during dental procedures. Description High volume and low volume suction systems used in dental operatories to maintain a dry field, reduce aerosol spread, and facilitate visibility during restorative and surgical procedures; systems include disposable tips and traps for infection control. Effective suction reduces aspiration risk … Read more
Category Otolaryngology Surgical Typical Use Provide magnified visualization for ear surgery including tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy. Description A high magnification, stereoscopic microscope with coaxial illumination used in ear surgery to visualize the tympanic membrane, ossicles, and mastoid air cells for precise dissection, graft placement, and ossicular reconstruction while preserving delicate middle ear structures. Microscope ergonomics, sterile … Read more
Category Ophthalmology Imaging Typical Use Capture high resolution fundus photographs for diagnosis and monitoring of retinal disease. Description A specialized camera system that acquires color, red free, and fluorescein angiography images of the retina and optic nerve head to document diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma changes, and other posterior segment pathology, supporting diagnosis, treatment planning, … Read more
