What Is a Medical Film?
Medical film includes a range of materials employed in healthcare settings, serving purposes across medical devices, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic applications. This category includes diverse types of films, such as X-ray films, ultrasound (echo) films, films used in artificial joints, vascular catheter films, and films for wound coverings, each playing a vital role in diagnostic processes, treatments, and the manufacturing of medical devices.
Different types of medical films operate based on the requirements of their specific application. For instance, X-ray films capture images through the interaction of X-rays with photosensitive agents, whereas echo films visualize internal structures by capturing the reflections and refractions of ultrasound waves. Among their benefits, medical films offer enhanced diagnostic and treatment accuracy through their advanced functionality and are valued for their high safety standards and biocompatibility.
