A reasonable place to start exploring a theoretical account of invasiveness is by identifying that to which invasiveness refers. A reasonable first candidate might be the way in which devices get into the body in the first place. Devices might be said to be introduced to the body in an invasive way. Surgery – cutting through the skin, scalp, bone o...
An alternative worth considering is whether what makes a device invasive is where a device is located – an invasive device might be said to do its work from the inside. Since how a device gets in and where it ends up often travel together, a simple thought experiment might be helpful to draw the contrast. Imagine that someone awoke to discover a ca...
A third feature of medical devices that invasiveness might refer to is the way in which medical devices are foreign. A device might be considered invasive because it is not naturally part of the system into which it is introduced. This way of understanding invasiveness is in a way consonant with the etymology of the term ‘invasive’ (the medieval La...
A final candidate worth considering is the permanent effect that an invasive device has on the body. A device put into the body by cutting, burning, or penetrating human tissue leaves a mark.

Abstract. Medical devices are often referred to as being invasive or non-invasive. Though invasiveness is relevant, and central, to how devices are understood and regarded in medicine and bioethics, a consensus concept or definition of invasiveness is lacking. To begin to address this problem, this essay explores four possible descriptive ...

Mar 20, 2024 · The classification of medical interventions as either invasive or non-invasive is commonly regarded to be morally important. On the most commonly endorsed account of invasiveness, a medical intervention is invasive if and only if it involves either breaking the skin ('incision') or inserting an object into the body ('insertion').
