Introduction:
Surgical Instrument has a key role in different plastic surgeries. It is the main tool through which they perform dangerous tasks. Areas of application in which single-use medical devices are used have been steadily increasing in recent years. During operation, a current flow generates heat (here is the difference between monopolar and bipolar application technology): this heat not only causes tissue or small and medium-sized vessels to disconnect. But it is also eliminated (this is called coagulation), which also stops the flow of blood – a decisive advantage over pure mechanical techniques such as the scalpel.
The history of instrument manufacture goes back to prehistoric times, where one used natural materials such as bones and stones as “instruments.” In later centuries instruments were made of bronze, brass, copper, and made of iron. In recent years, the possibility of minimally invasive interventions for the benefit of patients has steadily increased, so this surgical procedure is now part of a standard procedure, for example, in the abdominal area (abdominal cavity) surgery, but also knee surgery.
Holding Instruments:
The grasping or holding instruments are forceps and clamps. Retractors, which hold a scrape or keep an organ (or tissue) out of the way, including Gallup, Whit liner, and US Army-style equipment.
How are surgery instruments sterilized?
In the first step, the plastic surgery tools in the washer-disinfector are flushed with water from all sides. Then chemical cleaning agents are used. The instruments are then disinfected with 90 °C hot water. Finally, the drying takes about 20 minutes. Medical devices for the administration of blood, blood products, or other sterile medicinal products. Medical devices are intended to penetrate the skin or mucous membranes and thereby come into contact with blood.
