Healthcare providers utilize a wide array of products to deliver care, treatment, and services to patients. Key product categories include skin cleansers, electrode pads, medical injectors, IV catheters, and so on.
Skin Cleansers
Skin cleansers quickly kill bacteria on the skin, preventing infections during procedures such as blood draws and insertion of intravenous catheters. Skin cleansers usually include chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine solution, and chlorhexidine gluconate solution.
Electrode Pads
Electrode pads are adhesive pads that used to attach monitoring electrodes and stimulation leads to a patient’s skin. The pads contain conductive gels that lower skin impedance, allowing clear transmission of electrical signals to and from medical devices. Electrode pads for ECG/EKG monitoring have snap connectors to attach lead wires. Pads for TENS therapy have lead wires attached. Defibrillator pads are used to connect to defibrillators for cardiac monitoring and defibrillation. Neuromuscular stimulator pads are used to connect muscle stimulators for rehabilitative exercises and pain management.
Medical Injectors
Medical injectors serve numerous functions such as injection, aspiration, and sample collection. General-purpose syringes for manual injection come in sizes from 1 mL to 60 mL. Smaller insulin syringes, tuberculin syringes, and allergy testing syringes allow precise dosing. Hypodermic needles in gauge sizes attach to syringes to inject or withdraw fluids. Safety syringes have mechanisms to cover needles after use to prevent needlestick injuries. In addition, some uniquely designed syringes have specialized uses, such as angiography, biopsy, irrigation, and dental anesthesia.
IV Catheters
IV catheter or intravenous catheter allows convenient vascular access. Over-the-need catheters are temporarily inserted into peripheral veins using an internal needle for initial puncture. Once in place, the needle is removed leaving just the flexible catheter tubing. IV catheters have Luer connectors for attaching IV tubing. Central venous catheters and PICC lines give long-term venous access to medications, chemotherapy, fluids, and blood draws.
Wound Care Products
Wound care products such as gauze, bandages, and adhesive dressings are used to protect injuries. Sterile gauze pads absorb drainage from cuts and incisions. Rolled gauze bandages compress and protect wounds. Adhesive bandages seal small wounds, and island dressings contain absorbent pads surrounded by adhesive to manage exudate. Transparent dressings allow wound visualization. Occlusive dressings provide a moist environment to promote healing.
Patient Comfort Products
Patient comfort products include pillows for positioning, blankets for warmth, hospital gowns, slipper socks, oral care items, and others. Other ancillary supplies such as sharps containers, kidney basins, procedure trays, and bathing products are commonly used items in healthcare facilities.
