Low-cost medical devices are affordable tools and equipment designed to assist in diagnosing, monitoring, or treating health conditions. These devices aim to improve healthcare access, especially in low-income communities or developing countries. Examples include simple diagnostic tools, basic surgical instruments, and portable monitoring devices. These devices often prioritize functionality and ease of use over advanced technology, making them suitable for various healthcare settings. Organizations like WHO and Medtronic support the development and distribution of low-cost medical devices to enhance global health outcomes and ensure that essential medical care is available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
