Used for holding and manipulating delicate tissues. They have a wide, flat thumb grasp area that is commonly striated in one direction. The jaws are short and the tips are narrow. This product is straight with smooth edges, and a length usually of 4-3/4 inches. Adson Thumb Forceps (Mirella Ceja)
Primarily used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting the sutures. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. Most commonly available in the length of 5-1/2 inches. This product is straight with smooth, both blunt tips. Littauer Suture Removal scissors (Mirella Ceja)
Ringed locking instrument for clamping tissue. Small curved jaws have zig-zag teeth at the tip. Forceps securely grasp tissue but cause significant tissue crushing and are therefore considered to be “traumatic forceps” and should be used only on tissues that are being removed from the patient (tumors, damaged bowel, etc.) May also be used to secure patient drapes and instrument cords. Allis Tissue Forceps Mimi DiMatteo
Scissors for cutting bandage material. Blades bent for cutting at an angle. Top blade is a regular blunt. Bottom blade has a fat triangular blunt end to facilitate sliding under a bandage without catching the skin. Lister bandage scissors Mimi DiMatteo
AKA needle drivers. Ringed locking needle holder with no-slip surface at the active end and built-in scissors on half of working end nearest to the pivot. Designed to hold suture needles and pass them through tissue in order to perform suture ties. Because of ratcheted locking device, needle can be held without falling out or twisting. Increases surgical speed as the surgeon can work without assistance by cutting her own suture material. Be careful as sutures can be inadvertently cut. Olsen-Hegar needle holders Mimi DiMatteo
A thin metal bar with perforations for the insertion of screws that is used to immobilize fractured bone segments. The plate is affixed with screws to properly align the bone and aid in the healing process. Plates are like internal splints that hold the broken pieces of bone together.
