Viscera retention paddle

14 GUDID devices

A sterile, hand-held, flat device designed to be temporarily placed within a body cavity to retain and protect organs (i.e., viscera) while the surgeon performs a suturing procedure (typically internal wound closure). It is in the form of a thin, flexible, ...

Abdominal/ENT/orthopaedic surgical probe, reusable

736 GUDID devices

A slender, rod-like, hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to be used to explore cavities, wounds or fistulas during abdominal, ENT, and/or orthopaedic surgical interventions; it does not include stereotactic devices and is not dedicated to endoscop...

External defibrillator electrode pad

258 GUDID devices

A conductive medium designed to be used between the metal contact surface of an external defibrillator electrode, of the paddle-type, and the patient's skin. A defibrillator electrode pad is available in two basic designs: 1) a thickened conductive gel or p...

Internal defibrillator electrode, adult

88 GUDID devices

An electrical conductor used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator directly to the exposed heart muscle of a post-pubescent patient in order to intentionally stop/start the heartbeat during cardiopulmonary surgery...

Internal defibrillator electrode, paediatric

40 GUDID devices

An electrical conductor used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator directly to the exposed heart muscle of a pre-pubescent patient in order to intentionally stop/start the heartbeat during cardiopulmonary surgery....

Manual external defibrillator

34 GUDID devices

An external pulse generator (EPG) designed to deliver electrical shocks to defibrillate the heart (restore normal rhythm) in a procedure initiated by a healthcare professional operator who monitors an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine when to treat life-...

Electrode conductive skin pad, single-use

31 GUDID devices

A noninvasive conductive material designed to facilitate electrical conduction between an external electrode (e.g., paddle-type defibrillator electrode) and the skin surface. It is available in various forms such as a thickened gel or polymer medium reinfor...

External defibrillation electrode, adult, reusable

29 GUDID devices

An electrical conductor intended to be used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator to a post-pubescent patient in order to defibrillate the heart (restore a normal rhythm) or slow a rapid heart rate. It usually con...

Vaginal applicator, single-use

22 GUDID devices

A device designed to apply medication to the vagina. It is typically a simple rod, blade, spatula, or paddle. This is a single-use device.

Hand-held endoscopic retractor, reusable

19 GUDID devices

A hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to be used to enable retraction of tissues during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. It consists of a handle with a slender body connected at the distal end to a retracting mechanism (e.g., inflatable/folding pa...

Meibomian gland manual expressor/evaluator

15 GUDID devices

A non-powered, hand-held manual ophthalmic instrument intended to be used to apply pressure to the lower eyelid to facilitate natural release and/or expression of meibomian gland secretions (meibum) for diagnostic evaluation during a routine eye examination...

Abdominal/ENT/orthopaedic surgical probe, single-use

14 GUDID devices

A slender, rod-like, hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to be used to explore cavities, wounds or fistulas during abdominal, ENT, and/or orthopaedic surgical interventions; it does not include stereotactic devices and is not dedicated to endoscop...

External defibrillator electrode, adult, reusable

11 GUDID devices

An electrical conductor used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator to a post-pubescent patient in order to defibrillate the heart (restore a normal rhythm) or slow a rapid heart rate. It usually consists of a cabl...

Implantable sleep apnoea treatment system, fixed-rate

11 GUDID devices

An assembly of devices intended for home management of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using an implanted stimulator to provide fixed-rate electrical stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve [targeted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (THN)]. It may take two forms: ...

Orthopaedic knee-balance analyser

11 GUDID devices

A mechanical orthopaedic measuring/testing instrument used by a surgeon during the procedure to interrogate the strength and integrity of the ligaments that support (balance) the knee, prior to bony resection for a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This may pr...

Orthopaedic knee-balance analyser, non-electrical

8 GUDID devices

A mechanical orthopaedic device intended for measurement of the forces within the knee joint during a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to assist with further planning of the procedure. It is typically a spring-loaded device with paddles to push against the adj...

Radiological breast positioner haemostatic compression attachment

4 GUDID devices

A noninvasive device intended to be attached to a radiological breast positioner (e.g., paddle) to provide pressure and achieve haemostasis to the breast. It is intended to be used with a dressing (e.g., gauze) after an image-guided surgical or intervention...
