'Sharps' • Scalps. There are two sizes of handles (4 and 6). Blade types and usage include no. 11 (stab incisions), no. 10 (most skin incisions), no. 15 (fine incisions), and no. 22 (adhesiolysis). • Scissors. It could be dissection or stitch cutting. Dissecting scissors can be straight or curved, such as Mayo, McIndoe, Metzenbaum, and Nelson's.
Forceps • Non-toothed. DeBakey and Adson's forceps are fine, non-toothed instruments used to handle delicate tissues like arteries and bowels. This heavy, non-toothed tool is ideal for general handling, including specimens and sutures. • Toothed. Fine-toothed forceps, such as Gillies' and McIndoe's, are commonly used to handle skin and fascia, as well as to grip delicate tissues precisely. thick-toothed forceps, such as Lane's, are used to grip thick tissues like fascia and scars. • Ring-tipped and microforceps. Used for vascular anastomoses.
Clips and Clamps • Artery clips, such as Spencer-Wells, Robert's (big), and Dunhill's, Mosquito (little), feature serrated jaws. Suitable for vascular clamps, tissue/suture holding. • Tissue clamps, including the Lahey clamp. Clamp with curved tip is commonly used for dissecting vessels. • • Doyen bowel clamp. Non-crushing atraumatic. Babcock/Duval clamp. This non-toothed, semi-atraumatic tissue-holding clamp is commonly employed for holding the bowel. • Use Lane's, Allis, or 'Littlewood' clamps. Tissue clamps with heavy teeth for traumatic use.
Retractors • Self-retaining retractor: • Examples of large retractors include the Goligher retractor for abdominal incisions and the Finichetto retractor for thoracic procedures. • Travers (superficial) and Norfolk and Norwich (deeper) retractors are suitable for minor cutaneous and abdominal incisions. • • • Large handheld retractors, such as Deaver, Kelly, and Morris. Small (e.g. Langenbeck, Kilner/'Catspaw').
