What is a Medical Device? 

A medical device is a type of apparatus used in the treatment, care or diagnosis of a medical condition. It could be an instrument or a machine. It could be used to help prevent further injury to a body part, to strengthen a limb, help with mobility such as with a cane, crutches, a walker or a wheelchair.

Operating and Procedure Room

Surgical instruments are an example of a medical device. These could be used in an operating room, in a procedure room in a clinic or doctors office or on a patient care until, or at the bedside in a hospital. An example could be a scalpel, forceps, or a retractor.

Other examples are devices that can be implanted directly into a patient, such as a pacemaker for the heart, a stent that is often used in the heart but can also be used in other areas of the body where blood flow or even urine flow are being restricted and an open avenue needs to be maintained.

Surgical mesh is another example of a medical device. This material can be used where weak or damaged tissues need to be reinforced to support existing tissue. Also, prosthetics such that are used to replace entire joints, for example a knee or a hip.

Diagnostic Medical Devices

Medical devices can be used as a diagnostic tool, to gather information, which can assist a healthcare provider in starting, adjusting, or stopping treatment. This could be a heart monitor, sphygmomanometer, CPAP or continuous positive airway pressure machine. Or larger machines such as those used for MRI or magnetic resonance imaging, X-rays, CT scans, CAT scans or mammograms.
