The Global Health Medical Device Compendium is an inventory of medical devices designed for use and/or implemented within resource-limited settings. The compendium is sortable by health topic (e.g., Malaria and HIV/AIDS), classification (i.e., Preventative, Diagnosis or Treatment), scope (i.e., Prototype, Clinical trial, Commercialized) and location (by continent).

This compendium was originally compiled by the University of Michigan's Center for Global Health. More background is available at Global Health Compendium. New devices can be added using Form:Medical Device.
