Optical coherence tomography OCT scanner is a non-ionizing, light-based imaging medical device that produces high-resolution cross-sectional views of tissue microstructure. In day-to-day hospital and clinic operations, it is best known for ophthalmic imaging of the retina and optic nerve, but OCT platforms are also used in other specialties (for example, intravascular imaging in catheterization labs) depending on configuration.

Fundus camera is a clinical device designed to capture images of the back of the eye (the fundus), including the retina, macula, optic disc, and retinal blood vessels. In hospitals and clinics, it supports screening, documentation, referral triage, and longitudinal monitoring across ophthalmology and systemic disease pathways (for example, diabetes care).

Retinal camera is medical equipment designed to capture high-quality images of the back of the eye (the retina, optic disc, macula, and retinal vessels). In hospitals and clinics, it supports documentation, screening programs, disease monitoring, and clinical decision-making by providing consistent visual records that can be compared over time or shared for consultation.

Slit lamp biomicroscope is a cornerstone ophthalmic medical device used to examine the eye under magnification with a controllable, high-intensity beam of light. In hospitals, clinics, and eye-care centers, it supports fast, repeatable assessment of the anterior segment (and, with accessories, parts of the posterior segment), making it central to day-to-day eye services, emergency workflows, and perioperative care.

A **Tonsillectomy instrument set** is a curated tray (or trays) of reusable surgical instruments and accessories used to support tonsillectomy procedures and closely related ENT workflows. In many hospitals, it is treated as standardized **hospital equipment**: assembled by sterile processing, checked against a preference card, opened onto a sterile field, and used by the surgical team as part of a controlled perioperative process.

Nebulizer for ENT meds is a medical device used to convert liquid medication into an aerosol intended for delivery to the upper airway (ear, nose, and throat pathways), typically via a nasal interface, face mask, or mouthpiece. In hospitals and clinics, these systems sit at the intersection of clinical effectiveness, infection prevention, patient experience, and operational reliability—making them relevant not only to ENT teams, but also to respiratory therapy, nursing, biomedical engineering, procurement, and hospital administration.

Endoscopic sinus scope is a specialized endoscope used to visualize the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus pathways for diagnostic assessment and endoscopic procedures. In modern ENT services, it is core medical equipment: it supports accurate visualization, documentation, and minimally invasive workflows across outpatient clinics, procedure rooms, and operating theatres.

Auditory brainstem response ABR device is a clinical device used to measure the nervous system’s response to sound from the ear through the auditory nerve and brainstem. It records tiny electrical signals (evoked potentials) from surface electrodes placed on the scalp and compares the timing and shape of the responses to known reference patterns. Because it is an objective test (it does not rely on the patient pressing a button or describing what they hear), it is widely used in newborn hearing screening, pediatric diagnostics, difficult-to-test adults, and select neuro-otology and intraoperative monitoring workflows.

An **Otoacoustic emissions OAE device** is a clinical device used to measure tiny sound signals generated by the inner ear (cochlea), typically in response to acoustic stimulation delivered through a probe placed in the ear canal. Because the test does not require an active response from the patient, it has become a cornerstone of **newborn hearing screening** and a practical tool in many audiology and ENT workflows.

Audiometer diagnostic is a clinical device used to assess hearing function by presenting calibrated sound stimuli and recording patient responses in a structured, repeatable way. In hospitals and clinics, it supports ENT, audiology, occupational health, oncology monitoring programs, pediatrics (where appropriate), and pre-/post-intervention assessments—helping teams document hearing status, track changes over time, and standardize referrals.

Cerumen (earwax) is a common, often underestimated operational issue in outpatient and inpatient care: it can obstruct ear examinations, interfere with audiology assessments, affect hearing-aid fitting, and drive avoidable referrals when routine removal cannot be completed safely and efficiently.

A **Suction unit ENT** is a suction system used to remove fluids, secretions, blood, irrigation, and debris from the ear, nose, and throat field during examinations and procedures. In practical terms, it helps clinicians maintain visibility, reduce contamination of the working area, and support safe, efficient patient flow in ENT clinics, procedure rooms, emergency departments, and operating theatres.

Headlight ENT is a head-worn illumination medical device designed to provide bright, directed light aligned with the clinician’s line of sight during ear, nose, and throat examination and procedures. In busy outpatient clinics, emergency departments, procedure rooms, and operating theatres, consistent lighting is not a convenience—it is a practical prerequisite for visualization, efficiency, and safer workflows.

An ENT examination chair is a purpose-built piece of hospital equipment designed to position and support patients safely during ear, nose, and throat (ENT) assessments and many office-based procedures. Unlike a standard clinic chair, it typically offers controlled height adjustment, backrest recline, head and neck support, and—on many models—rotation, powered leg support, and programmable positions. These capabilities help clinicians work at the correct angle and height while keeping patients stable and comfortable.

Laryngeal mirror is a simple, handheld medical device used to indirectly visualize the larynx (voice box) and surrounding upper airway structures through the mouth. Despite the growth of flexible and video endoscopy, this compact clinical device remains widely used because it is low-cost, fast to deploy, and requires minimal infrastructure.
