Surgical Instruments

Surgical instruments can be divided into special and general purposes. Today they are known for more than a thousand.

The operation consists of a series of consecutive stages. Depending on what work is being done, certain surgical tools are used that dissect tissues, dilute them, fix, stop bleeding, connect tissues, etc.

Disconnection of tissues

Any operation begins with the stage in which the scalpel is involved. This surgical instrument dissects the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Further, for cutting fascias, aponeuroses and soft tissues, knives, scissors, electron knives, laser scalpels, ultrasonic devices and other devices are used, besides scalpels.

Stop bleeding

The stage is carried out using a ligation for clamping the vessel, sewing the tissues, etc.

Fixation of tissues

Surgical instruments should provide the widening of the edges of the wound and fixing the organs for a better view and ease of manipulation in the depth of the wound.

Main Stage

Special operating sets and various techniques are used.

Fabric connection

Perform a variety of stitching apparatus, connecting the edges of the fabric with metal clips.

General devices include those that are used to disconnect tissues before surgery. This - a variety of knives, scalpels, scissors, saws, nippers, bits, osteotomes.

Auxiliary are considered anatomical and surgical tweezers, corncangs, blunt and sharp hooks, probes, dilators of the wound.

Hemostatic tools are clamps and needles, and various needle holders with cutting and pricking needles are used to connect the tissues.

Surgical instruments. Basic set

Kits allow you to perform all typical operations in a medical facility.

On the table of the operating sister there are always "binding tools" that she uses. These are scissors, anatomical tweezers long and small, 2 corncangs, truncheons for underwear.

The basic set includes general surgical instruments that are needed for any operations, as well as a special toolkit. All of them are made of stainless chrome or high-quality carbon steel, which has a complex of valuable mechanical, physical-chemical and technological properties. Surgical instruments are manufactured in accordance with approved medical standards. Their quality largely depends on the original properties of the materials from which they are made. All medical devices must meet special requirements: non-toxicity and biological inertness to tissues and environments of the human body. When making tools, it is necessary to provide that they will be subjected to aseptic processing, which should not affect the shape and properties. An important indicator of materials is increased corrosion resistance. In order for the surgical instrument to be stainless, a certain amount of chromium is added to the steel.
