Paediatric medical devices are used specifically to diagnose and treat conditions from birth right up until age 21. While some devices are designed for children only, others are more universal in application, and can be used on both pre-adolescent and adult patients. Glenmed Professional Healthcare Solutions offers a brief introduction to some of the devices currently leading the field in paediatrics.

Quality Healthcare For Patients Aged 0-21
Paediatrics is a broad field, spanning patients from birth right up until the age of about 21. During these two decades of life, people can experience any number of medical conditions, calling for an impressive array of technology to diagnose and treat. These could include such child-specific devices as neonatal incubators or machines and instruments just as commonly used on adults but that have been modified for use with children, such as nebulizers, oxygen masks, audiometry devices, thermometers and more. In other cases, the same machine can perform just as well with both adults and children. Respiratory care devices or patient monitoring systems, for example, can be programmed and adjusted for patients of any age.
