    Medical Instrument Classification: Functions and Uses

    • Medical instruments are categorized based on their function, usage, and complexity.
    • Proper classification is crucial for healthcare professionals to understand and utilize these instruments effectively.

    Diagnostic Instruments

    • Stethoscope: Used to listen to internal sounds, such as heartbeats and lung sounds.
    • Sphygmomanometer: Measures blood pressure.
    • Electrocardiograph (ECG): Records the electrical activity of the heart.

    Imaging Instruments

    • Ultrasound machines: Utilize sound waves to generate images of internal tissues.
    • Endoscopy: A device used to examine the inside of the body.

    Therapeutic Instruments

    • Infrared lamps: Emit infrared radiation, which is a form of heat energy. They are used for muscle relaxation, pain relief, and improving blood circulation.

    Monitoring Instruments

    • Cardiac monitors: Track heart rate and rhythm in real-time.
    • Glucose monitors: Measure blood sugar levels, primarily used by diabetic patients.

    Laboratory Instruments

    • Centrifuge: Separates fluids (e.g., blood) into components (e.g., plasma, red cells).
    • Microscope: Aids in viewing cells and tissues at a microscopic level.

    Dental Instruments

    • Dental chair: Designed for patient comfort and ease of access during dental procedures. It is adjustable for optimal positioning during treatments.
