Therapeutic Equipment:
Therapeutic equipment is used to treat and manage medical conditions.
Infusion Pumps:
-
Administer fluids, medications, or nutrients into a patient's circulatory system at a controlled rate.
-
Hyperbaric Chambers:
-
Provide high-pressure oxygen to patients in a controlled environment, used in the treatment of certain infections, wounds, and other medical conditions.
-
Phototherapy Equipment:
-
Use light exposure for the treatment of conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, and jaundice in newborns.
Ventilators:
-
Assist with breathing for patients who have difficulty breathing on their own, commonly used in critical care settings.
-
Kidney Dialysis Machines:
-
Remove waste and excess fluid from the blood for patients with kidney failure.
-
Pulse Lavage Systems:
-
Clean wounds during surgical procedures by delivering a pressurized stream of fluid.
Defibrillators:
-
Deliver an electric shock to the heart to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest or certain arrhythmias.
-
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Machines:
-
Administer controlled electric shocks to induce seizures, used in the treatment of severe mental health conditions.
-
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery:
-
Delivers highly focused radiation to treat brain tumors and other neurological conditions.
Orthopedic Implants:
-
Devices used in surgical procedures to repair or replace damaged joints or bones, including prosthetics, screws, plates, and joint replacements.
-
Pacemakers:
-
Implantable devices that regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle.
-
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machines:
-
Deliver a continuous stream of air to keep the airways open, commonly used to treat sleep apnea.
Laser Systems:
-
Used in various medical procedures, including surgery, dermatology, and ophthalmology, for cutting, coagulation, and tissue ablation.
-
Nebulizers:
-
Administer medication in the form of a mist for respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
-
Inhalers:
-
Deliver medication directly to the lungs, commonly used for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
-
Cryotherapy Machines:
-
Apply extreme cold to treat various conditions, including freezing and removing abnormal skin tissues.
Physical Therapy Equipment
-
Traction Devices: Used to relieve pressure on the spine and treat musculoskeletal conditions.
-
Ultrasound Therapy Machines: Use ultrasound waves for deep tissue heating and promoting healing.
-
Electric Muscle Stimulators: Apply electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, aiding in muscle rehabilitation.
-
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Machines: Move joints continuously to prevent stiffness after surgery or injury.
-
Hot and Cold Therapy Devices: Include heating pads and ice packs for pain relief and inflammation reduction.
