Stainless steel
Medical forceps and cutters are a surgical instrument that is used during manipulations with hard bone tissue, splinters, fragments and other hard materials. It is durable and rigid, made of stainless carbon steel, which is not subject to corrosion and does not emit toxic compounds during contact with biological materials.
Surgical forceps - main characteristics
Surgical forceps are used during surgical and microsurgical operations, in gynecology, urology, traumatology, ophthalmology and veterinary medicine. With their help, you can easily remove bone cement or other foreign body, fix a bone in the desired position, capture a tumor, hold a transplanted organ during transplantation, and perform other operations.
Depending on the design and functional purpose, medical forceps are divided into several types:
- direct – used during surgical operations to stop bleeding, organ transplantation, removal of bone fragments and sequestration, and in dentistry for tooth extraction. Finger rings on the handle, as well as notches or serrations on the ends, allow you to firmly hold the object in the tongs. Some models may have a special lock;
- curved - used as bone holders to remove foreign objects, bone cement, and fragments from hard-to-reach places. The bending of the tongs can be either vertical or horizontal. For example, the popular model Shch-98 has a vertical bend - the tongs are twenty-three centimeters long, have straight jaws and a double gear. The model of forceps Shch-31T has a horizontal bend - they are used to extract bone fragments during surgery;
- tapered.
Surgical cutters - classification
Medical cutters are widely used during surgical operations for cutting hard bone and cartilaginous biological tissues. Thanks to the lever design, they significantly reduce the physical effort of the surgeon, reducing the likelihood of injury to adjacent soft tissues.
Surgical nippers are divided into five main types:
- Dahlgren - neurosurgical instruments used to open the bones of the skull;
- Egorova-Freidina - neurosurgical instruments for operations on the skull and spine;
- Listona is a series of surgical instruments that have elongated handles and straight cutting edges. They are used to perform spinal surgeries. This category of instruments includes such popular models as Shch-60 and Shch-106 - they have a length of 238 and 185 millimeters, respectively;
- Luer - medical instruments that have cutting edges in the shape of oval spoons for removing bone tissue of the mastoid process of the temporal bone;
- Jansen - bone cutters for spinal surgery. This tool has short cutting working parts. They can have a straight or curved shape, such as the Shch-62 model.
