Bone density ultrasound heel is a non-ionizing medical device designed to assess bone properties at the heel (calcaneus) using ultrasound. It is most commonly used as a practical, point-of-care method to support bone health screening, risk stratification, and referral decisions—especially where access to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is limited or when rapid workflow is needed.
A **Skeletal traction pin set** is a specialized **medical device** kit used to place a traction pin through bone and connect it to a traction system (for example, ropes, pulleys, and weights) so that a controlled pulling force can be applied to a limb. It is commonly used in orthopedic trauma pathways and is considered safety-critical **hospital equipment** because it interfaces directly with the patient’s skeletal system and with external traction assemblies.
An **Orthopedic traction frame** is a mechanical support structure used to apply and maintain controlled traction to a patient’s limb (and, in some configurations, to support positioning for specific orthopedic procedures). In practice, it is part of a broader traction system that can include pulleys, ropes or cables, weights, patient interfaces (boots, slings, straps), and mounting hardware for beds or operating tables.
Cast saw is a core piece of orthopaedic hospital equipment used to remove or modify rigid casts and certain splints after injury management or planned follow-up care. In busy emergency departments, fracture clinics, paediatric services, and outpatient orthopaedics, safe cast removal is a high-frequency workflow that directly affects patient experience, staff safety, turnaround time, and room cleanliness.
Radiofrequency ablation catheter is a catheter-based medical device designed to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy to targeted tissue in order to create a controlled thermal lesion. In many hospitals, it is most commonly associated with cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures for treating certain arrhythmias, but the broader concept of RF ablation catheters also appears in other interventional specialties, depending on local practice and device design.
An EP study recording system is specialized hospital equipment used in cardiac electrophysiology (EP) labs to acquire, display, annotate, store, and export electrical signals from the heart during electrophysiology studies and many catheter-based arrhythmia procedures. It typically records surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms (EGMs), and may also capture timing markers, stimulation events, and other physiologic signals depending on configuration.
Temporary transvenous pacing wire is a short-term intracardiac pacing lead placed through a central vein and connected to an external pulse generator to support heart rhythm when the native conduction system is too slow, unreliable, or temporarily impaired. It is common hospital equipment in emergency departments, catheterization labs, operating rooms, and critical care units because it can provide rapid, adjustable pacing while teams diagnose, treat reversible causes, or arrange definitive therapy.
A Vascular closure device is a sterile clinical device used to help close a percutaneous vascular access site (most commonly an artery or vein) after catheter-based procedures such as angiography or endovascular intervention. In practical hospital terms, it is one of the tools used to achieve hemostasis and stabilize the puncture tract after sheath removal, with the goal of supporting safe recovery and predictable post‑procedure workflow.
A Contrast injector cath lab is a powered medical device used in catheterization laboratories to deliver contrast media (and, in many systems, saline) through a catheter at controlled flow and pressure during angiographic and interventional procedures. It sits at a critical intersection of image quality, procedural efficiency, and patient safety—because it directly influences how reliably contrast reaches the target anatomy, how consistently staff can repeat injection patterns, and how well the team can document what was delivered.
A Thrombectomy device is a category of minimally invasive medical device technology designed to remove thrombus (blood clot) from a blood vessel to restore blood flow. These clinical devices are most commonly associated with time-sensitive, high-acuity care pathways—such as acute ischemic stroke—but they are also used in selected peripheral arterial and venous interventions depending on local capability, clinical guidelines, and product indications.
A Rotational atherectomy system is a specialized interventional cardiology medical device used to modify heavily calcified coronary artery lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). By using a high-speed, diamond-coated rotating burr, it can help create a passage through rigid calcium so that balloons and stents can be delivered and expanded more predictably.
Guidewire coronary is a sterile, single-use (in most settings), highly engineered wire used to access, navigate, and support device delivery within the coronary arteries during catheter-based cardiac procedures. It is a foundational medical device in interventional cardiology because many diagnostic and therapeutic steps in the catheterization laboratory depend on safe, controlled wire placement.
A Coronary stent system is an implantable, catheter-delivered medical device used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to help keep a narrowed coronary artery open. In most hospitals it is treated as a high-risk implantable clinical device: it is supplied sterile, used once, and requires strict traceability from receiving through implantation.
Angioplasty balloon catheter is a sterile, single-use clinical device designed to dilate (widen) narrowed blood vessels during endovascular procedures. It is foundational hospital equipment in cardiac catheterization labs, interventional radiology suites, and vascular hybrid operating rooms, supporting high-volume care pathways for coronary and peripheral vascular disease.
A **Fractional flow reserve FFR system** is a catheter-lab medical device used during invasive coronary angiography (and often during PCI workflows) to help clinicians assess whether a coronary artery narrowing is likely to limit blood flow under conditions of increased demand. In practical terms, it supports decision-making when angiography alone does not clearly show whether a stenosis is functionally significant.
