Category Neurosurgery Implantable Typical Use Deliver therapeutic electrical stimulation for movement disorders. Description Thin, insulated electrodes implanted into specific deep brain nuclei and connected to an implanted pulse generator to modulate neural circuits in Parkinson disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, requiring precise targeting, programming, and long term follow up for symptom optimization.
Category Anesthesia Monitoring Typical Use Assess depth of anesthesia using processed EEG signals. Description A bedside monitor that analyzes electroencephalographic patterns to generate a numeric index reflecting hypnotic depth during general anesthesia and sedation, assisting anesthesiologists in titrating anesthetic agents to reduce awareness risk and optimize recovery times. BIS monitoring complements clinical signs and hemodynamic … Read more
Category Molecular Biology Laboratory Typical Use Separate nucleic acids or proteins by size for analysis and verification. Description An apparatus comprising a gel casting tray, electrophoresis chamber, power supply, and imaging system used to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins under an electric field for visualization, size estimation, and quality control in research and diagnostic workflows. … Read more
Category Point of Care Laboratory Typical Use Provide rapid analysis of arterial blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites. Description A compact analyzer that measures pH, PaO2, PaCO2, electrolytes, lactate, and hemoglobin from arterial or venous blood samples at the bedside or in the laboratory, delivering rapid results to guide ventilator management, resuscitation, and metabolic assessment in … Read more
Category Laboratory Point of Care Typical Use Perform high throughput urinalysis including dipstick and microscopic analysis. Description A laboratory instrument that automates chemical dipstick reading, urine sediment imaging, and particle recognition to provide standardized urinalysis results with reduced manual workload and improved reproducibility, supporting diagnosis of urinary tract infection, renal disease, and metabolic disorders. Automated … Read more
Category Gastroenterology Pediatrics Typical Use Provide gastric access in neonates and patients where nasal route is contraindicated. Description A tube inserted through the mouth into the stomach for decompression, feeding, or medication delivery when nasal access is not feasible or contraindicated, commonly used in neonatal and critical care settings. Orogastric placement requires careful technique to … Read more
Category Minimally Invasive Surgical Closure Typical Use Transect and staple tissue during laparoscopic procedures such as bowel resection. Description A handheld device introduced through laparoscopic ports that simultaneously staples and divides tissue with preloaded cartridges, enabling secure closure and transection of bowel, lung, or vascular structures during minimally invasive surgery. Cartridge selection for staple height … Read more
Category Endoscopy Typical Use Inspect esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; perform biopsies. Description A flexible upper endoscope used to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, varices, gastritis, and upper GI bleeding, and to obtain biopsies or perform therapeutic interventions. Gastroscopy is performed under sedation with … Read more
