Surgical Instruments

Surgical instruments are vital tools used by surgeons during various medical procedures. They are designed to assist in the manipulation of tissues or organs and help surgeons perform intricate tasks with precision. These instruments are typically made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure durability and sterility.

There are numerous specialized surgical instruments designed for specific procedures. Surgeons carefully choose which instruments to use based on the nature of the surgery and its requirements. Additionally, advancements in technology continue to lead to the development of new surgical instruments and techniques, improving patient outcomes and safety in the operating room.

We carry a large selection of new and used surgical instruments from different brands at Angelus Medical.

Here are some commonly used surgical instruments and their general applications:

• Scalpel: A sharp, precision cutting instrument used for making incisions during surgery.

• Forceps: These handheld instruments have hinged handles for grasping and holding tissue, blood vessels, or sutures. There are various types of forceps, including tissue forceps, hemostatic forceps, and dressing forceps.

• Scissors: Used for cutting tissues or sutures, surgical scissors come in different shapes and sizes. Mayo scissors and Metzenbaum scissors are two common types.

• Retractors: These instruments are used to hold tissues or organs away from the operative area, thus allowing surgeons better visibility and access. Examples include hand-held retractors and self-retaining retractors.

• Needle Holders: These instruments have a locking mechanism to hold and manipulate needles during suturing. They come in various sizes and designs, such as Mayo-Hegar and Olsen-Hegar needle holders.

• Sutures: Not an instrument per se, but sutures are essential for closing wounds and incisions. They come in different materials, such as absorbable and non-absorbable, and types like monofilament and multifilament.

• Speculum: A device used to hold open a body cavity or orifice, allowing the surgeon to view the area under examination. Examples include vaginal speculums and nasal speculums.

• Trocars: These are sharp-pointed instruments used in minimally invasive procedures to create access points for other instruments like laparoscopic or endoscopic instruments.

• Dilators: Used to enlarge or stretch body openings or passages during certain procedures. For example, cervical dilators are used during childbirth or hysteroscopy.

• Electrocautery Devices: These instruments use high-frequency electric current to create precise cuts, coagulate bleeding vessels, or remove tissue.
