Learning all of the names, purposes, and set-up procedures for surgical instruments can be a daunting task, but with SURGICAL INSTRUMENTATION: AN INTERACTIVE APPROACH, it’s easier than ever before.
Surgical instruments include a wide variety of items and require a range of supporting tools and supplies. Surgical tools include chisels and elevators for removing or prying up bone fragments or teeth, otoscopes and laryngeal mirrors for visual inspection of ear, nose and throat, punches for performing biopsies, and extractors for removing blemishes. Some tools are for retracting, such as skin hooks, or clamping, while others are for cutting such as scissors & shears. Incisions or wounds may be closed using needles, suture, and needle holders or using staplers. Surgical supplies include items such as scalpel blades for cutting and specula for use with an otoscope, as well as protective disposable apparel such as gloves, masks and hair coverings, anti-fog eyewear, and smocks. Supplies may be used in large volumes and are available in case quantities, as well as individually. When choosing surgical instruments, consider product compatibility for equipment, tools, and supplies.
