The medical device industry is an incredibly profitable and rapidly growing sector of health care. In plastic surgery, the nonsurgical medical aesthetic device industry presents ongoing ethical challenges, specifically related to the principles of nonmaleficence and respect for autonomy. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of the ethical challenges the nonsurgical medical aesthetic device industry presents, including use of deceptive or misleading language in advertising, limited evidence of efficacy, and lack of public and professional understanding of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation of medical devices. Practical application of ethics is presented through the lens of the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements () and the Code of Ethics of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ().
医疗设备行业是医疗保健领域中利润丰厚且发展迅速的一个部门。在整形手术中，非手术医疗美容设备行业持续面临伦理挑战，特别是与不伤害原则和尊重自主权相关的挑战。本文旨在提高人们对非手术医疗美容设备行业所呈现的伦理挑战的认识，包括广告中使用欺骗性或误导性语言、疗效证据有限，以及公众和专业人士对美国食品药品监督管理局医疗器械监管缺乏了解。文章通过《护士伦理准则及诠释性声明》和《美国美容整形外科学会伦理准则》来呈现伦理的实际应用。
