Different types of medical devices are used for various medical applications such as surgical knives, forceps, gloves, syringes, bandages and dressings, medical laboratory equipment, stethoscopes, dental drills, x-ray films, veterinarian instruments, and other related supplies. However, high-tech medical equipment and retail drug sales are excluded from medical supplies.
