Each of the thousands of instruments used is designed for a specific function. They can be classified depending on use as follows: Cutting instruments Instruments for tissue grasping and manipulation Instruments for tissue exposure Suturing instruments Hybrid instruments Endoscopic instruments Cutting instruments Scalpels: consist of a handle and a blade; the handle is made of metal (reusable) or plastic (disposable); blades are disposable, of various shapes and sizes. The top of the scalpel handle has a special part, with a groove that allows its sliding into the blade slot and securing of the blade in position. The scalpel blade has a slot - larger at its base and narrower at its top. The larger part is fitted to the groove of the handle, and the narrower part secures the blade into the groove. Figure 1. Handle of a scalpel Figure 2. Scalpel blades The attachment of a scalpel blade is illustrated below: Figure 3. Attachment of a scalpel blade: the larger part of the blade slot is placed in the handle groove, then the blade is moved so that the narrower part of the slot slides and snaps into the groove The removal of a scalpel blade is presented below: Figure 4. Removal of a scalpel blade: the blade is lifted over the securing device and then slided out of the handle groove A scalpel must be handed from one person to another so as to completely eliminate any risk of injury. The scalpel is held by the upper part of the handle, with the completely visible blade pointing upwards; the recipient takes the scalpel by grasping the lower part of the handle. Figure 5. Handing over During its use, the scalpel can be a scalpel Held as a knife, as a pencil or as a dagger (see the figure below). Figure 6. Use of scalpels – as a knife, as a pencil, as a dagger Scissors are used to cut tissues, suture threads, dressings, as well as for blunt dissection (the closed scissors are introduced between the planes to be separated, and are opened Figure 7. Metzenbaum before they are extracted). scissors Scissors exist in a variety of sizes and shapes. They can be straight, curved or angular. They can have a sharp or blunt tip. A. B. C. D. Figure 8. Different types of scissors: A. Mayo scissors; B. Potts scissors (used in biliary and vascular surgery); C. Castroviejo scissors (used in microsurgery, ophthalmology, neurosurgery); D. Scissors for cutting dressings During usage, scissors are held as follows: The fourth finger is inserted through the ring of the lower arm of the scissors The third finger supports the lower arm of the scissors The second finger is extended along the arms of the scissors, ensuring the precision of movement The thumb (about half of the first phalanx) is inserted through the ring of the upper arm of the scissors Figure 9. The correct way to hold scissors It is important that cutting with scissors should be performed under visual control; the tip and the entire length of the blades must be observed in order to avoid damaging other tissues than those concerned. To cut the threads after tying a knot, the following are performed: The open blades are placed around the threads The scissors are lowered to the proximity of the knot, they are rotated Figure 10. Cutting a so as to make the knot clearly visible thread under visual control The threads are cut to the desired length This allows to avoid o Leaving too long or too short thread ends o Cutting the knot Scissors should be handed from one person to another as follows: The first person holds the tip of the scissors The second person opens the Figure 11. Handing over scissors Palm of the hand to receive the instrument The first person places the handle of the scissors in the palm of the recipient Other cutting instruments are chisels, osteotomes, saws (used for cutting bones), curettes (used for scraping tissues), dermatomes (used for collecting free skin). Tissue manipulation instruments Hemostats are used to grasp, handle and retract tissues. In certain situations, spaces are too narrow for the ’hands, so that hemostats can apply force, pressure or can expose certain anatomical structures. There are two types of hemostats: self- retaining and non-self-retaining. Surgical hemostats are traumatic hemostats (equipped with teeth allowing to grasp tissue firmly). They are used for handling hard tissues (skin, fascias). Anatomical hemostats are atraumatic (without teeth). They are used for handling sensitive, friable tissues. A. B. Figure 12. A. Surgical hemostat. B. Anatomical hemostat An anatomical or Surgical hemostat should be held with the thumb on one A. side and with the B. second and third Figure 13. Holding an anatomical/surgical hemostat: A. fingers on the other Correct B. Incorrect Side, towards the volar part of the hand – similarly to a pencil. Holding A hemostat with its handle in the palm should be avoided; this position is uncomfortable and does not allow precision. An anatomical or surgical hemostat should be passed from one person to another by placing the instrument with its handle (not its tip) in Figure 14. Handing over an the ’hand. anatomical/surgical hemostat Self-retaining forceps are used for grasping tissues and they have a locking (rack and pinion) mechanism that keeps them closed, allowing them to hold the tissue Figure 15. Self-retaining forceps Between their arms. They are similar in shape to scissors, the locking mechanism being situated near the rings. They can be straight or curved. The most widely used self-retaining forceps are: P‚an’ forceps – without teeth Kocher’forceps – with teeth A. B. Figure 16. A. P‚an’forceps. B. Kocher’forceps Other forceps, similar to the two above, are Mosquito forceps – a fine, small size Pean’ forceps Overholt forceps – a fine, curved P‚an’ forceps, used for dissection or hemostasis A. B. Figure 17. A. Mosquito forceps. B. Overholt forceps To secure drapes that cover the patient during surgery, special self-retaining forceps are used1: Backhaus forceps (with a rack and pinion mechanism) Doyen forceps (with a spring mechanism) A. B. Figure 18. Forceps for securing surgical drapes: A. Backhaus forceps B. Doyen forceps Handling of self-retaining forceps: Forceps should be held similarly to scissors: the fourth finger is inserted through the lower ring, the middle finger supports the forceps, Figure 19. Holding a self-retaining forceps The index finger is extended along the arms of the forceps to ensure precision of movement, and the thumb (the proximal half of the first phalanx) is inserted through the upper ring A self-retaining forceps is closed by moving its arms so as to allow engagement of the teeth of the locking mechanism The forceps is opened by pushing the rings (arms) apart so as to disengage the teeth of the rack and pinion mechanism Figure 20. Opening a self-retaining forceps by pushing apart the teeth of the locking mechanism 1 Known as “”due to their arms similar to the claws of crayfish A self-retaining forceps should be handed from one person to another similarly to scissors: the handing person holds the tip of the instrument and places the Figure 21. Handing over a self- handle (rings) of the forceps retaining forceps In the ’open palm. Instruments for exposure (retractors) They are used to hold back tissues/organs in order to expose only those organs/tissues that are being operated on; they ensure visibility of the surgical site. Retractors come in different shapes and sizes, depending on anatomical location. To minimize trauma to the retracted organs and tissues, the position of retractors must be frequently changed during surgery. Below are some examples of retractors: A. B. C. Figure 22. Retractors: A. Farabeuf retractor; B. Doyen retractor; C. Self- retaining (Weitlaner) retractor Handling retractors is difficult and fastidious, but exposure provided by them is important because it ensures visibility of the surgical site. Traction on retractors is generally Figure 23. Handling the Farabeuf exerted in two directions: retractor Laterally and downwards; consequently, the most effective way to hold a mobile retractor is using the thumb and the third- fifth fingers (ensuring lateral traction), while the second (index) finger is extended along the instrument and ensures downward pressure. Suturing instruments Needle holders are special self-retaining forceps used to maneuver the needle during suturing (they hold and guide the suturing needle). X-shaped striations allow a secure grip of the needle between the arms. There are 2 main types of needle holders, the others being variations of these: the Mathieu needle holder and the Hegar needle holder.

Abstract While coil occlusion is well accepted for the small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), occlusive devices are preferred for the larger (> 3 mm) ducts by most institutions. Because of costs concerns, occlusive devices are not always realistic in many countries. The technique of simultaneous delivery of multiple coils with bioptome assistance works well for relatively larger ducts. This technique requires careful case selection through echocardiography. The duct anatomy plays a crucial part in determining the suitability for coil occlusion. Coil occlusion has a specific advantage for relatively larger ducts in selected small children and in preterm infants because it is possible to accomplish delivery of multiple coils through relatively small introducer sheaths. In addition, aortic narrowing is less likely because coils compact in the ampulla.

  • 49 How to Grasp the Needle with Needle
    Basic Instrument Use Video Transcript How to Grasp the Needle with Needle Holders Placing a stitch requires a sequence of carefully planned steps. Each step, if performed incorrectly, contributes to the loss of precious operative time. Skilled surgeons do not necessarily suture with rapid hand motions, but use deliberate, disciplined steps that eliminate nonproductive motions during suturing. Novice surgeons must practice handling the needle holder and placing sutures in order to learn how to perform this technique pr operly and efficiently. In this video, we will examine the first step of placing a stitch, how to grasp the needle within the jaws of the needle holder. To grasp the needle in the needle holder, release the ratchet and open the jaws. The needle is positioned between the jaws, at the tip of the instrument, and is almost always held perpendicular to the axis of the jaws. This standard position allows for good needle stability and helps prevent bending. When the needle is held in this manner, the needle can be driven through tissue by merely rotating the holder on its axis. This minimizes the amount of motion needed to drive the needle, using less space to complete the stitch. When the needle is placed obliquely within the jaws, the handle of the holders must move through a wider arc to follow the curve of the needle through the tissue. There are few surgical situations in which oblique placement of the needle is required. When grasping the needle with needle holders, you will also need to plan where along the curve of the needle it should be grasped.

  • THERMAL SCALPEL SYSTEM MODEL PRECISION 8400 (P8400) HANDLE Part Number 7013-8050
    THERMAL SCALPEL SYSTEM MODEL PRECISION 8400 (P8400) HANDLE Part Number 7013-8050 For use with the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System Model P8400 Controller OPERATING MANUAL INTRODUCTION HEMOSTATIX THERMAL SCALPEL BLADES are similar in size, shape, and sharpness to traditional steel scalpel blades; however, Hemostatix blades can be heated to a user- selected temperature appropriate for sealing small vessels as they are cut. To cut and simultaneously seal blood vessels effectively with minimum tissue damage, the sharp steel cutting edge of a heated scalpel blade must be uniformly maintained at the desired temperature within narrow limits. The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System utilizes micro-circuitry incorporated within the blade itself to maintain the cutting edge temperature within the necessary tolerance, selectively delivering additional thermal energy only to those regions of the blade using heat due to tissue contact. By so doing, the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System automatically compensates for the varying degrees of heat loss that occur during surgical procedures (depending on the type of tissue being incised and the rate at which cutting is carried out), maintaining the cutting edge in the desired temperature range. In contrast with electrosurgical devices, the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System passes no electrical current through the patient, and there is no sparking or electrical arcing to the tissue. Electrosurgical devices “cut” and/or cauterize using electrical currents which pass through the patient vaporizing tissue at the point of contact and generating heat and tissue damage down the path of the electrical current. The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System cuts tissue with a sharpened steel edge, like a conventional cold-steel scalpel blade, and simultaneously seals blood vessels using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated-temperature blade which is electrically insulated from the patient.
