Absorbent Cotton
The characteristics of absorbent cotton are:
Composition: 100% cotton.
Net weight: 500g.
Use: Cleaning, wiping, absorption.
Storage conditions: Store in a dry place away from light.
Properties: Very high absorbency. It is soft and comfortable thanks to the cotton fiber.
Quality: Guaranteed to be made from pure long fibers. It is treated to be hydrophilic, which makes it absorbent.
Safety: Latex-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, and surfactant-free. Hypoallergenic.
Format: Presented as an accordion-folded tablecloth for easy cutting.
Target audience: Suitable for healthcare professionals, beauty professionals, estheticians, and home use. Essential in medical facilities (hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, etc.) and for individuals.
Acetabular prosthesis
The cementless acetabular prosthesis has several main characteristics:
Shape and Material: It is generally hemispherical in shape, with an outer shell (metal-back) often made of titanium alloy or high-nitrogen stainless steel, such as M30NW (ISO5832-9).
Bone fixation: The outer surface is designed to promote osseointegration, often with a porous coating (e.g., titanium plasma or HA/TPS) or specific texturing, ensuring long-term fixation.
Anchorage holes: It can have cluster holes or a specific number of holes (e.g., 1/3 holes) for the insertion of acetabular screws, improving initial stability.
Inner surface: The inner surface is polished to minimize wear of the joint between the insert and the cup.
Compatibility: It is designed to be combined with different types of inserts (e.g., polyethylene or ceramic) and femoral heads, allowing for great surgical flexibility.
Rotation and Positioning: Some models allow the component to rotate, facilitating optimal positioning in the recipient bone.
ACL interference screw, cannulated
- The ACL Interference Screw, Cannulated, is an arthroscopic implant, primarily used in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries.
- The screw’s design is to secure the grafted ligament to the bone.
- The term “Cannulated” here refers to the hollow center, creating a smoother passageway for accurate implant placement.
- The implant provides initial stability to the graft while it heals the bone.

Adhesive Bandages
Characteristics of an Adhesive Bandage
An adhesive bandage has several main characteristics:
Adhesive material: It has an adhesive strip around the edges to adhere to the skin and hold the bandage in place over the wound.
Absorbent pad: In the center, there is a soft, absorbent pad made of gauze or non-woven material designed to cover the wound, absorb exudate, and protect it.
Protection and hygiene: It provides a physical barrier against bacteria and dirt, helping to prevent wound infection.
Flexibility: Designed to be flexible, it adapts to body movements and the contours of the area where it is applied.
Sterility: Adhesive bandages are individually wrapped and sterile for hygienic application to wounds. Answer:
The main characteristics of an adhesive bandage are its adhesive material, its central absorbent pad, its ability to provide protection and hygiene, its flexibility, and its sterility.
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.
Adhesive tape
For Lens Processing:
Adhesion: Must securely bond with the blocking wax or alloy used for holding the lens.
Protection: Prevents scratches and damage to the lens surface during grinding and polishing.
Peelability: Must peel off cleanly and easily from the lens after processing, without leaving residue or transferring alloy.
Color: Often blue to make it easy to distinguish and remove from the lens.
Adjustable Hip Orthosis
The orthosis pictured is an adjustable hip, knee, ankle, and foot orthosis designed for post-surgical rehabilitation of the femur and other lower limb conditions.
Its main features include:
High-quality material: Made of aluminum alloy and PE (polyethylene), ensuring lightness, strength, and durability.
Angle and length adjustment: The adduction, abduction, flexion, and extension angles of the hip joint can be adjusted according to the patient’s needs. The knee joint allows controlled movement from 0 to 120° and can be fixed in various positions.
Ergonomic design: The special board is designed to more closely fit the curve of the human body, and the plastic hoops and lining feature ventilation holes for comfort and moisture wicking.
Secure Fixation: Equipped with high-quality Velcro straps to reinforce the fixation, facilitating disassembly, transport, and cleaning.
Various Applications: Used for fixation after hip, foot, ankle, and femoral fractures, severe ankle sprains, soft tissue, tendon, and ligament injuries, as well as for the prevention of dislocation after hip replacement.
