Equipment for operating rooms and intensive care units can be classified according to their purpose:

general surgical equipment – these are surgical instruments, operating tables, apparatuses and devices used in various areas of medicine;
specialized instruments for individual surgical interventions;
auxiliary devices (sterilizers, disinfectors, etc.);
equipment for operation rooms, intensive care and general wards.

Surgical instruments, both general and special purpose, assume the following basic classification:

electrical;
ultrasonic;
laser;
radiowaves.

Electrical devices
The purpose of using electrical devices in surgery is to perform surgical interventions based on the effects of high-frequency electricity on body tissues. Such devices are used for:

surgical interventions on the chest;
treatment of gynecological, gastric and ENT diseases;
Removal of skin tumors;
Microsurgical operations on the spine and brain;
biopsy.

Electrosurgical apparatuses are in demand in gynecology, ophthalmology, dentistry and other branches of medicine.

Ultrasound devices
The use of ultrasound in surgery helps perform surgical procedures without incisions and disruption of tissue integrity. Equipment that operates with the help of an ultrasonic wave can reduce the trauma of surgery. In addition, the patient’s rehabilitation time is reduced.

Laser devices
Equipment based on laser radiation ensures sterility of tissues and their minimal damage during surgeries, guarantees minimal blood loss and quick coagulation of vessels.

Laser devices are in demand for skin and cosmetic surgery, and are effective in the fight against cancerous tumors.

Radiowave devices
It is impossible to imagine a modern medical center without radio wave surgery equipment. Radiosurgery is a method by which tissue incisions are made without deep damage. This minimizes the risk of postoperative complications.
