Information About Radiology
Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Provide heated, humidified high flow oxygen and some positive airway pressure. Description A system that delivers warmed, humidified oxygen at high flow rates through wide bore nasal cannulae to improve oxygenation, reduce work of breathing, and provide modest positive airway pressure in hypoxemic respiratory failure, postextubation support, and palliative care. … Read more
Category Wound Closure Typical Use Close skin incisions quickly and securely. Description A disposable or reusable device that places metal staples to approximate skin edges rapidly, commonly used for long incisions, scalp wounds, and areas where speed and tensile strength are priorities. Skin stapling is faster than suturing for certain wounds and may reduce operative … Read more
Category Orthopedic Implant Typical Use Replace diseased joint surfaces for pain relief and function restoration. Description Modular prosthetic components for total joint replacement hip, knee, shoulder including femoral stems, acetabular cups, tibial trays, and bearing surfaces designed to restore joint mechanics, relieve pain from arthritis or trauma, and improve mobility. Implant selection considers patient anatomy, … Read more
Category Otolaryngology Surgical Typical Use Perform ear surgery including tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty. Description A collection of fine instruments such as microforceps, picks, curettes, and suction tips specifically designed for middle ear and mastoid surgery, enabling delicate manipulation of ossicles, graft placement, and mastoidectomy with preservation of hearing structures.
Category Endoscopy Therapeutic Typical Use Perform ERCP for biliary and pancreatic ductal interventions. Description A side viewing endoscope engineered for cannulation of the ampulla of Vater and therapeutic maneuvers within the biliary and pancreatic ducts, enabling stone extraction, stent placement, and tissue sampling under fluoroscopic guidance. Duodenoscope reprocessing and infection control practices are critical due … Read more
Category Endoscopy Typical Use Visualize entire colon and perform biopsies polypectomy. Description A flexible endoscope designed to traverse the entire colon to detect polyps, tumors, inflammation, and other mucosal pathology, and to perform therapeutic interventions such as polypectomy, hemostasis, and dilation. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic evaluation of chronic … Read more
Category Orthopedic Implant Instrumentation Typical Use Stabilize fractures and facilitate bone healing through internal fixation. Description A collection of precontoured plates, locking and nonlocking screws, and instrumentation used to achieve rigid fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and reconstructive procedures, enabling early mobilization and anatomic alignment. Implant selection considers fracture pattern, bone quality, and biomechanical demands, and … Read more
Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Provide controlled respiratory support in respiratory failure. Description A complex machine that delivers controlled volumes or pressures of gas and oxygen to support or replace spontaneous breathing in patients with respiratory failure, during anesthesia, or in critical care. Ventilators offer multiple modes (volume control, pressure control, spontaneous modes) and alarms … Read more
Category Endoscopy Surgical Typical Use Dissect and coagulate tissue during endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. Description A hybrid instrument combining ultrasonic energy with endoscopic access to fragment and coagulate tissue while maintaining a clear operative field, facilitating minimally invasive resections with reduced bleeding and thermal injury.
Category Surgical Endoscopy Typical Use Visualize and operate within the peritoneal cavity. Description A rigid or flexible endoscope introduced through small abdominal incisions to visualize intra abdominal organs and perform minimally invasive surgical procedures such as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and gynecologic surgery. Laparoscopy reduces postoperative pain, shortens hospital stay, and improves cosmetic outcomes compared with open … Read more
