What Are The Various Types Of Non-Invasive Medical Devices?

MedTech Outlook | Wednesday, April 29, 2020

Non-invasive medical devices address not just solution specs and functionality to meet the needs of consumers but also healthcare regulatory compliance.

Fremont, CA: Technology has a significant part in today's world, both in business and personal life. Medical and healthcare are, without a doubt, the fields in which technology plays a critical role. The creation of Non-Invasive Medical Devices using the newest technologies and scientific discoveries is greatly assisting the healthcare business by delivering cutting-edge medical diagnoses and treatment processes, saving countless lives throughout the world. Miniaturization and enhanced applications have resulted from improvements in Non-Invasive Medical Electronics, particularly in the fields of medical data gathering, storage, and analysis. These breakthroughs in Non-Invasive Medical Electronics are assisting physicians in making faster diagnoses, maintaining continuous monitoring, and giving more effective therapies.

Here are some of the various types of non-invasive medical devices:

CT scan and MRI

Medical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scanners and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used in radiology to scan the body non-invasively. CT scans employ X-rays to scan a body part from various angles and provide cross-section images, whereas an MRI scanner uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create a detailed picture of the body's soft tissues and bones. Both scanners are painless and assist physicians in diagnosing conditions such as bone fractures, tumors, and malignancies without having to break through the skin. They provide clinicians with extensive information about the patient's condition.

Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFT) Machine

The heart rate of the baby, as well as a maternal uterine activity such as the strength of the uterus and the duration of the uterus contractions, is monitored during pregnancy, labor, and delivery to aid clinicians in assessing Fetal well-being before and after labor. A monitoring equipment, cables, electrodes, and algorithms are used to measure, record, and display the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR), uterine contraction, mother blood pressure, and heart rate during delivery.

Defibrillators

Physicians use defibrillators to keep track of patients with heart problems. The defibrillator examines the patient's heart for irregular rhythms and, if necessary, restores a normal heartbeat with a gentle electric shock. They can also be used to restore a patient's heartbeat if the heart stops working suddenly.
