Suitable for various medical settings, including dentistry, hospitals, and X-ray offices.
Single-Use Specula
Disposable vaginal specula, commonly used for gynecological examinations. Their main characteristics are:
Single-use and hygiene:
These specula are designed for single-use, eliminating the need for complex cleaning and sterilization associated with reusable specula. They are generally sterilized with ethylene oxide and individually wrapped to ensure maximum hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-infection.
Material and transparency:
Made of polystyrene resin or transparent plastic, they provide excellent visibility of the vaginal canal and cervix during the examination. Plastic is also perceived as cooler and more comfortable for the patient than metal.
Design and practicality:
They are lightweight and robust, facilitating handling by the healthcare professional. Most incorporate a locking system (often by twisting) to keep the valves open during the examination.
Various Sizes:
Available in several sizes (medium and large) to accommodate different anatomies.
Type:
The specula shown in the image are of the Cusco type, recognizable by their two-valve shape.

Hypodermic Needle
Disposable hypodermic needles have several essential characteristics for their medical use:
Sterility and Single Use:
They are sterilized (e.g., by EO gas, as shown in the image “STERILE EO”) and designed for single use only to prevent contamination and the transmission of infections.
Material of Construction:
Made of high-quality stainless steel, they are non-toxic and non-pyrogenic.
Tip Design:
They feature a sharp, beveled tip for smooth penetration and maximum patient comfort.
Easy Identification:
The needle hub is color-coded by size (gauge) for quick and easy identification, and can be semi-transparent to allow for visualization of blood flow (flashback).
Compatibility:
They are designed to securely connect to syringes, often via a Luer Lock or Luer Slip connector.
Quality Certifications:
They bear conformity marks such as the CE mark (e.g., “CE 0123” in the image), attesting to their compliance with European safety and quality standards.
Packaging:
Each needle is generally individually sterile packaged to maintain its integrity until use.
Gauze Compress
The specific characteristics of the gauze compress are as follows:
Gauze type: Zigzag gauze.
Dimensions: 65 cm x 100 m.
Weave: 40S x 40S, 19 x 15 threads (weave density).
Packaging: IPC (Individually Packed).
Batch number: 2024081.
General characteristics of gauze compresses:
Gauze compresses, like the one shown, are medical devices commonly used for wound care and hygiene.
Composition:
They are generally made from absorbent cotton, which makes them soft and absorbent.
Use:
They are intended to absorb bleeding and exudate, clean and disinfect wounds, or make dressings.
Sterility:
They can be sterile (for surgical procedures or infected wounds) or non-sterile (for daily care without the risk of infection).
Folding:
A surgical fold with tucked edges is often used to prevent fraying and minimize the risk of irritation or contamination.
Absorbency:
Their woven structure ensures high liquid absorption capacity.
Adhesive Tape
The characteristics of the 18 cm x 5 m perforated adhesive tape are as follows:
Dimensions:
18 cm wide and 5 meters long.
Adhesive Type:
Zinc oxide-based or synthetic, latex-free for some models.
Backing:
Non-stretch fabric, such as fibranne or a similar textile backing.
Perforation:
Perforations (holes) allow air and moisture permeability, promoting better skin tolerance.
Adhesion:
Strong adhesiveness for secure fixation of dressings or care equipment, while being designed not to affect normal skin function.
Ease of Use:
Often tearable by hand in both directions for convenient application.
Indications:
Used for holding dressings in place and securing catheters or other medical equipment.
Pump body
Pump bodies are used for blood collection. Their main features are:
Increased safety:
Designed to separate the needle from the collection tube, they prevent incidents related to splashing and clotting of the collected blood.
Compatibility:
Their size is suitable for 13 mm and 16 mm diameter collection tubes, as well as blood culture tubes.
Redon Drain
A suction wound drainage system, such as a Redon drain. Its main features are:
Suction Reservoir:
The central element is a bellows-shaped reservoir (or bulb) that creates continuous suction to remove wound fluid.
Continuous Drainage:
The system ensures constant drainage of exudate and blood to prevent fluid accumulation and promote healing.
Sterility:
These systems are generally supplied sterile to minimize the risk of wound infection.
Materials:
Reservoirs can be made of PVC or silicone, and drains are often made of silicone for their biocompatibility and flexibility, minimizing tissue reactions.
Components:
The kit includes a reservoir, a drainage tube (sometimes with a trocar for insertion), and connectors.
Use:
It is used for postoperative drainage of surgical wounds to remove excess fluids and maintain an environment conducive to healing.
