Definition
器械 (qì xiè) refers to equipment, apparatus, or instruments used for a specific purpose, especially in medical, fitness, or technical settings. It can also mean 'weapon' in a crime context, but is more formal and specific than 武器 (wǔ qì). Unlike 工具 (gōng jù), which is a general 'tool', 器械 emphasizes mechanical or specialized gear.
