The field of medicine has always been essential to human survival. From ancient remedies rooted in religion and philosophy to today’s advanced scientific innovations, the journey of medical progress has been remarkable. Modern science, particularly in biology, paved the way for revolutionary breakthroughs—from the discovery of penicillin to life-saving surgical technologies. As medicine advances, so too must the equipment used to diagnose, treat, and care for patients.
