Bilirubin meter transcutaneous is a non-invasive medical device used to estimate bilirubin levels through the skin, most commonly in newborns and young infants as part of jaundice screening and monitoring workflows. In many hospitals, it supports faster decision-making, reduces the need for blood draws in selected situations, and helps standardize assessments across busy maternity, neonatal, and outpatient settings.

Neonatal phototherapy lamp is a widely used clinical device designed to deliver therapeutic light to newborns with elevated bilirubin levels (commonly referred to as neonatal jaundice). In many hospitals and clinics, it is core neonatal medical equipment because it offers a non-invasive treatment option that can be deployed in nurseries, NICUs, and special care baby units with relatively fast setup and standardized workflows.

Neonatal radiant warmer is a piece of hospital equipment designed to help maintain a newborn’s body temperature by delivering controlled radiant heat over an open care surface. Unlike a closed incubator, it provides direct access to the infant for resuscitation, observation, and procedures—making it a core clinical device in delivery rooms, operating theatres, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and emergency settings.

A Neonatal incubator is specialized hospital equipment designed to provide a controlled micro-environment for newborns—especially those who are premature, low birth weight, or otherwise vulnerable to heat loss and environmental stress. By stabilizing temperature and (in many models) humidity, airflow, and oxygen delivery interfaces, this medical device supports essential neonatal care while reducing the handling required to maintain a stable environment.

Umbilical cord scissors are purpose-designed surgical scissors used to cut the umbilical cord as part of routine childbirth care. Although the device is simple, it sits at a critical junction of infection prevention, patient safety, workflow reliability, and traceability—especially in high-volume maternity units and resource-variable settings.

Cord clamp is a small but high-consequence clinical device used during childbirth to occlude (close off) the umbilical cord after delivery. It is typically supplied as sterile, single-use medical equipment and is used across hospital maternity units, operating theatres (including cesarean deliveries), birthing centers, and community settings where deliveries occur.

Amniotomy hook is a simple, sterile clinical device used in obstetrics to intentionally rupture the amniotic membranes (often referred to as “artificial rupture of membranes”) under controlled conditions. Although it is small and low-cost compared with many categories of hospital equipment, it is used in high-stakes environments—labor and delivery units—where patient safety, infection prevention, documentation, and team communication are critical.

An **OB ultrasound machine** is a specialized ultrasound imaging system used to visualize pregnancy-related anatomy and physiology in real time. In modern hospitals and clinics, it is core **medical equipment** for obstetrics and maternal care because it supports timely assessment, documentation, and coordination across departments such as obstetrics, radiology, emergency, and maternal–fetal medicine.

Episiotomy scissors are specialized surgical scissors used in obstetrics to perform an episiotomy when a clinician determines it is needed. While they may look similar to other scissors in a delivery or operating set, their geometry is typically optimized for controlled cutting in a confined field, often with a protective tip profile to reduce the chance of unintended injury.

Vacuum extractor is a clinical device used to assist vaginal birth by applying controlled negative pressure (vacuum) to a cup placed on the fetal scalp, allowing a trained clinician to apply traction in coordination with the birthing process. In many hospitals and maternity units, it is part of the operative vaginal delivery toolkit alongside forceps and cesarean delivery pathways.

Delivery instruments forceps are handheld obstetric instruments used to assist vaginal birth by gently grasping and guiding the fetal head during the final stage of delivery. In many hospitals and maternity centers, they remain a critical part of the delivery toolkit alongside vacuum devices, fetal monitoring systems, and standard surgical instruments.

Birthing stool is a non-powered, patient-support medical device designed to help a laboring person adopt an upright, supported sitting or squat-like posture during childbirth. In many maternity units, this simple piece of hospital equipment is used to expand position options beyond the traditional bed-based approach, while maintaining clinician access and supporting safe patient handling.

Labor bed is a specialized piece of hospital equipment designed to support people during labor, delivery, and immediate recovery, while also enabling clinicians to work efficiently and safely. Unlike a standard ward bed, a Labor bed is engineered for frequent repositioning, rapid access to the perineal area when needed, compatibility with obstetric accessories (such as leg supports and hand grips), and quick transitions between comfort-focused and procedure-ready configurations.

An **Intrauterine pressure catheter** is a sterile, single-patient clinical device used during labor to measure uterine pressure directly from inside the uterus. It connects to a fetal/maternal monitoring system to produce a pressure waveform that helps clinical teams assess uterine activity when external monitoring is limited or insufficient.

A **Fetal scalp electrode** is a clinical device used for **internal fetal heart rate monitoring** during labor. Instead of relying on an external ultrasound transducer on the maternal abdomen, this medical equipment obtains a fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) signal directly from the presenting fetal part (most commonly the scalp) and derives the fetal heart rate from that signal.
