Comedone extractor is a simple, commonly used clinical device designed to assist trained healthcare professionals in expressing comedones (for example, blackheads and whiteheads) from the skin using controlled, localized pressure. While it is often viewed as “basic” hospital equipment, it sits at the intersection of patient safety, infection prevention, workflow efficiency, and procurement quality—especially when it is reused and reprocessed.

Curette derm is a hand-held dermatology instrument used to mechanically scrape, scoop, or debride superficial tissue in a controlled manner. In many facilities it is treated as a small but high-impact clinical device: it influences sample quality for pathology, procedure efficiency in outpatient settings, and infection-prevention performance across the patient journey.

A **Skin biopsy punch set** is a small, manual, sterile cutting instrument system used to collect a cylindrical sample of skin tissue for laboratory evaluation. It is common hospital equipment in dermatology, outpatient procedure rooms, emergency settings, and any service line that needs a reliable way to obtain a standardized skin specimen with minimal setup.

Wood s lamp derm is a UV-based examination light used in dermatology and related clinical workflows to help visualize fluorescence and subtle changes in skin pigmentation that may be difficult to appreciate under standard room lighting. In many hospitals and outpatient clinics, it functions as a fast, non-invasive adjunct tool that can support assessment, documentation, and decisions about whether further testing is needed.

Phototherapy unit UVB is a clinical device designed to deliver controlled ultraviolet-B (UVB) light exposure for dermatology and related care pathways. In many hospitals and specialist clinics, it supports standardized, repeatable treatment workflows for conditions where UVB light is part of a clinician-directed plan of care.

A **Microdermabrasion machine** is a skin-resurfacing medical device that mechanically exfoliates the superficial layers of the skin using an abrasive interface (commonly diamond-tip or crystal-based) combined with controlled vacuum suction. In hospitals, outpatient departments, and clinic settings, it is typically positioned as low-to-moderate complexity **medical equipment** used to support dermatology and aesthetic workflows, patient satisfaction, and service line growth—while still requiring disciplined safety, infection control, and maintenance practices.

A Dermabrasion unit is a powered skin-resurfacing medical device designed to remove superficial layers of skin in a controlled, mechanical way. Depending on the model and intended use, this can range from traditional (more aggressive) dermabrasion performed in a procedure room or operating theatre, to microdermabrasion systems used for more superficial exfoliation in outpatient settings.

Electrocautery pen derm is a handheld surgical energy instrument used to apply controlled heat to tissue, most commonly for coagulation (hemostasis) and superficial tissue treatment in dermatology and minor procedure settings. Depending on the design, it may be a battery-powered “true cautery” pen that heats a tip, or a handpiece connected to an electrosurgical generator that delivers high-frequency electrical energy through an electrode. The exact technology, accessories, and safety requirements vary by manufacturer.

Dermatome skin is a surgical medical device used to harvest controlled, thin layers of skin—most commonly split-thickness skin grafts—for reconstructive and wound coverage procedures. In day-to-day hospital operations, it sits at the intersection of surgical quality, patient safety, sterile processing capability, and procurement strategy because performance depends not only on the handpiece, but also on blades/consumables, maintenance, and team technique.

Cryogun liquid nitrogen is a handheld cryotherapy delivery medical device designed to apply extremely cold liquid nitrogen (LN₂) to targeted tissue in a controlled way. It is widely used in outpatient and ambulatory clinical workflows because it can support fast, office-based procedures without the infrastructure demands of an operating theatre.

A Cryotherapy spray unit is a clinical device designed to deliver a controlled stream of extremely cold “cryogen” (coolant) to rapidly cool or freeze targeted tissue. In hospitals and outpatient clinics, it is most often used for focused, point-of-care procedures where speed, portability, and predictable workflow matter.

Dermatology exam light is a focused clinical lighting medical device designed to illuminate the skin and superficial tissues during dermatology assessment and minor procedures. In practice, it bridges the gap between ambient room lighting and the level of controlled, color-accurate illumination clinicians need for consistent visual inspection, documentation, and efficient workflow.

Visual field analyzer is a core ophthalmic diagnostic medical device used to measure and document a patient’s functional vision across the central and peripheral visual field. In practical terms, it helps healthcare teams detect, monitor, and trend visual field loss patterns that can be associated with glaucoma and a wide range of neuro-ophthalmic or retinal conditions.

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).
