The instruments are designed to provide the surgeon the tools that let you perform specific maneuvers in every speech. There are basic maneuvers common to the different surgical interventions. The instruments by function can be small or large, short or long, straight or curved, sharp or blunt.
Court and dissection:
The cutting tool has sharp edges, is used to: cut, split or remove tissue. Among the precautions to be considered sharp edges which are protected during cleaning, sterilization and storage, keeping them separate from each other and with careful management, handling.
Scalpels: The most common type of blade has a reusable handle with a disposable blade. Almost all the handles are made of sheet copper and carbon steel.
Considerations in use:
* The blade is fixed to the handle by sliding the slot into the notches on the handle
* When fixing or removing the blade from the handle never use your fingers, all through clamp
* The leaves differ in size and shape
* The leaves No. 20, 21, 23 have the same shape and different sizes are used to handle No. 4 and 3.
Scissors: The scissors blades vary according to their purpose, straight, angled or curved and blunt or pointed tips. Handles can be short or long.
* Dissecting Scissors: The type and location of tissue to be cut using scissors determines, can be great for hard tissue, with an angle to achieve structures with long handles for deep cavity searches and sharp leaves.
* Scissors thread: they are blunt to avoid cutting the structures near the suture and also serve to prepare the suture material by the arsenalera.
Dressing scissors: used to cut drains and dressings and unlock items such as plastic packages.
Tweezers.
The jaws of the instrument securing the tissue pressure and should be closely approximate closing usually are staunch, in the case of needle holder keeps the suture needle sets.
Zippers keep the instrument locked when closed, they should snap it gently.
Support and making Tweezers: The surgeon should have adequate visibility of the field, to assume and maintain the tissues in such a way as not to damage nearby structures. Field or Backause Clamp
Tissue Pliers: Used often in pairs, collect or maintain soft tissue and vessels, there was a wide variety of these instruments, the configuration of each is designed to prevent tissue damage.
Forceps smooth: they are also called clumsy forceps, and staggered grooves (notches) at the tip resemble pliers. They can be straight or bayonet (angle) short or long, small or large anatomical Clamps, Clamps Bossem
Forceps toothed: instead of having stretch marks, have a tooth in one side that fits into the teeth of the opposite side or a line of many teeth at the tip. These clips provide a firm support in the hard tissues and skin: Surgical clip. (Photo 6).
Allis forceps: branches has slightly curved, with a line of teeth at the end that allows the soft tissue support but surely.
Babcock Forceps: Its action is similar to that of Allis, the end of each branch is round to fit around the structure or to grasp without damaging tissue. This section is rounded fenestrated.
Clamping and occlusion:
Instruments that occlude clipped and used to apply pressure.
