Nd YAG laser derm is a dermatology-focused laser medical device built around a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser source, most commonly operating at a 1064 nm wavelength. It is used in outpatient dermatology, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine to deliver controlled laser energy to skin and superficial tissues for a range of procedural applications, depending on the system configuration and regulatory indications.

Pulsed dye laser is a laser-based medical device most commonly used in dermatology and related specialties to treat vascular-related skin findings by delivering short pulses of yellow light that preferentially interact with blood (hemoglobin) in superficial vessels. In practical terms, it is hospital equipment that sits at the intersection of clinical outcomes, patient experience, and operational readiness: it requires trained users, robust laser safety controls, reliable maintenance, and disciplined documentation.

Laser hair removal device refers to laser-based medical equipment used to achieve long-term hair reduction by delivering controlled light energy to hair follicles. While often associated with aesthetic services, this clinical device is also used in dermatology-led care pathways and selected medically supervised indications where hair reduction supports hygiene, comfort, or management of hair-related skin problems.

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.
