C. Medical Supplies

1. Self-Care: These are products that do not typically require a clinician to be present for their use. Hearing aids, diabetes management tools, and mobility aids are examples of self-care equipment used at home as part of a person’s daily routine.

2. Electronic: More devices become electronic every year. One major growth category we’re seeing now involves the electronic medical record (EMR), sometimes called the electronic health record (EHR). More companies are developing software to streamline the use of the EMR, and several companies are also working on ways to store and transport the EMR.

3. Diagnostic: This type of equipment basically takes a biological or chemical measurement that gets recorded in the medical record and used for diagnosis, or to track therapeutic progress. Sphygmomanometers for recording blood pressure, ophthalmoscopes that are used in eye exams, and otoscopes to allow a clinician to evaluate the health of the outer and middle ear are a few diagnostic tools often used in exam rooms.

4. Surgical: Surgical supplies and equipment can include the stainless steel tools that surgical teams use in surgery, diagnostic scopes that surgeons insert deep into the patient’s body so that they can see in hard-to-reach places, and disposable items they wear for personal protection from infection, such as caps, gowns, gloves, and glasses, as well as the gauze and drapes used to keep the patient clean and safe.

5. Durable Medical Equipment (DME): These include various types of walking aids, transfer equipment, bath safety, and wheelchairs.

6. Acute Care: These are equipment and supplies used in hospitals such as Nursing care kits as general purpose trays, minor procedure trays, wound and skin care kits, monitoring equipment, and non-surgical instruments used on a daily basis in hospitals for patient care.

7. Emergency and Trauma: These are supplies for diagnostic and exam tools, wound care supplies, respiratory therapy equipment, minor procedure kits, and personal protective gear.

8. Long-Term Care: These include beds and mattresses, therapeutic chairs that serve various functions, mobility assistance products, incontinence management supplies, exercise equipment, and grooming and dressing aids, to name a few.

9. Storage and Transport: These are carts to store and transport equipment such as Case carts, storage carts, supply carts, linen carts, food carts, and procedure carts are some of the most common types needed in healthcare.
