OB/GYN (Obstetrics and Gynecology) is a medical specialty that focuses on reproductive health, pregnancy, childbirth, and the management of related disorders. This field uses a variety of medical products and devices to provide effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of reproductive health issues. Here are some common types of medical products and devices used in OB/GYN:

Ultrasound Machines

An ultrasound machine uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal organs, such as the uterus and ovaries. This device is commonly used during pregnancy to monitor fetal development, and can also be used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometriosis. MFI Medical carries several ultrasound machines to fit users requirements, including the Chattanooga Intelect TranSport Ultrasound System, the Edan Acclarix AX4 Ultrasound System, and the Dynatronics Dynatron 125 Portable Ultrasound.

Fetal Dopplers

A fetal Doppler is a handheld device that uses ultrasound technology to detect the fetal heartbeat. It is often used during prenatal check-ups to monitor the health of the fetus. MFI Medical offers a variety of fetal dopplers, many from trusted brands like Edan, Huntleigh, and Summit Doppler. Two popular choices for clinicians are the Huntleigh Dopplex SD2 Bi-Directional Doppler and the Edan SonoTrax Basic A Fetal Doppler Baby Heart Monitor.

Colposcopes

A colposcope is a medical device used to examine the cervix and vagina. It uses a light and magnifying lens to provide a detailed view of the area, and can be used to detect abnormalities such as cervical cancer. The Leisegang 1DS Colposcope, Wallach ZoomStar Colposcope, and Welch Allyn VideoPath Video Colposcope are all top-rated colposcopes available from MFI Medical.

Surgical Instruments and Supplies

OB/GYNs use a wide variety of surgical instruments for procedures including hysterectomies, cesarean sections, and laparoscopic surgeries. These instruments include scissors, disinfectants, and disposables.

Scissors

Scissors are commonly used in obstetrics and gynecology for a variety of procedures. These procedures can include episiotomies, dilation and curettage (D&C), and hysterectomies. MFI Medical carries ADC Umbilical Cord Scissors, ADC Operating Scissors, and more for such procedures.

Disinfectants

Disinfectants are essential in obstetrics and gynecology for maintaining a clean and sterile environment. The use of disinfectants helps to prevent the spread of infection and reduces the risk of complications during procedures. Items like the Dynarex Obstetrical Towelettes or the Parker Protex Ultra Disinfectant Wipes help users to quickly disinfect surfaces such as examination tables or countertops. Many surgical instruments and tools also require sterilization. The Tuttnauer Chamber Brite Powdered Autoclave Cleaner can help maintain the cleanliness of an Autoclave or Sterilizer.

Disposables

The use of disposables in obstetrics and gynecology is essential to reduce the risk of infection. The Dynarex Obstetrical Kit is a convenient pack that is used to help deliver babies in emergency situations and includes essential items that a pre-hospital delivery may require. This kit can be useful for midwives, first responders, or in public spaces like taxis or public transportation where pregnant people may deliver in an emergency situation. Another disposable OB/GYN supply is the Wallach Papette Cervical Cell Collector Brush. This brush is used for specimen collection and because it is disposable, the risk of cross-contamination between patients is greatly reduced.
