Category Orthopedic ENT Typical Use Scrape and remove bone or granulation tissue. Description A robust, spoon shaped instrument used to debride bone surfaces, remove granulation tissue, or harvest cancellous bone during orthopedic, ENT, and dental procedures; bone curettes are available in multiple curvatures and sizes to access irregular surfaces and preserve surrounding structures.
Category Monitoring Typical Use Measure end tidal carbon dioxide and ventilation adequacy. Description A bedside monitoring device that continuously measures and displays end tidal carbon dioxide EtCO2 waveforms and numeric values to assess ventilation, confirm endotracheal tube placement, and guide ventilator management; it provides real time feedback on alveolar ventilation, perfusion, and metabolic changes and … Read more
Category Radiation Safety PPE Typical Use Protect staff from scatter radiation during imaging and procedures. Description A lead or lead equivalent apron worn by clinicians and staff during fluoroscopy, CT, and interventional procedures to reduce occupational radiation exposure, requiring regular inspection for integrity and appropriate storage.
Category Airway Aspiration Typical Use Suction oral secretions and blood during airway management. Description A rigid, curved suction tip designed for oropharyngeal suctioning to remove secretions, blood, or debris from the mouth and throat during airway management, surgery, and resuscitation, providing effective clearance with minimal mucosal trauma when used properly. The Yankauer is commonly attached … Read more
Category Orthopedic Endoscopy Typical Use Debride and resect intra articular tissue during arthroscopic procedures. Description Powered shaver handpieces with interchangeable blades used through arthroscopic portals to remove torn meniscus, synovium, or loose bodies while maintaining visualization and fluid management within the joint, enabling precise tissue resection with minimal collateral damage. Shaver selection, blade type, and … Read more
Category Operating Room Safety Typical Use Remove surgical plume and airborne contaminants generated by energy devices. Description A suction based system with high efficiency filtration that captures and filters surgical smoke produced by electrosurgery, lasers, and ultrasonic devices to reduce exposure to particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and potential infectious material for operating room staff … Read more
Category Laboratory Equipment Typical Use Separate blood components or precipitate samples. Description A laboratory device that spins samples at high speed to separate components by density, commonly used to separate plasma or serum from whole blood, concentrate cells, or clarify specimens for diagnostic testing. Centrifugation parameters such as speed (g force), time, and temperature are … Read more
Category Drug Delivery Typical Use Deliver controlled intravenous medication or fluids. Description A programmable device that administers intravenous fluids and medications at precise rates and volumes, enabling accurate delivery of continuous infusions such as antibiotics, vasopressors, and parenteral nutrition. Infusion pumps include safety features such as occlusion detection, air in line alarms, and dose limiting … Read more
Category Renal Replacement Therapy Typical Use Automate nocturnal peritoneal dialysis exchanges for home therapy. Description A programmable device that performs automated peritoneal dialysis exchanges overnight by cycling dialysate into and out of the peritoneal cavity through a peritoneal catheter, enabling home based renal replacement therapy with flexibility and improved quality of life for selected patients. … Read more
Category Emergency Pediatrics Typical Use Stabilize children for imaging and procedures while minimizing movement. Description A padded board or vacuum immobilizer that secures pediatric patients safely for radiography, casting, or minor procedures, reducing motion artifact and improving procedural accuracy while ensuring comfort and monitoring.
