Medical devices are products that assist in the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and alleviation of pain and discomfort associated with injuries and illnesses affecting the musculoskeletal system, ranging from joint pain caused by rheumatism to muscle strains and herniated discs. These devices are designed to investigate the functioning of anatomical elements to help meet the anatomical needs of the body in the presence of the above-mentioned conditions. Medical devices can be classified into three categories: devices that can replace anatomical structures, devices that help develop anatomical structures, and devices that provide support to anatomical structures.
We can give examples of medical devices used in athletes as alternative splints to bandages or casts.
