Study Notes

Halsted Mosquito Forceps

  • Features serrations along the entire jaw length with jaws that are half the length of the shank.
  • Primary purpose is to clamp small blood vessels to control bleeding during surgical procedures.

Kelly Forceps

  • Not suitable for large blood vessels or arteries due to their design and size, which limits grip on larger structures.
  • Toothed version features a distinct serration pattern that enhances gripping capability compared to the standard version.

Tungsten Carbide Iris Scissors

  • Specifically designed for the meticulous cutting of delicate tissues, primarily in ophthalmic surgery.
  • Distinct from standard scissors as they are built with Tungsten Carbide, providing greater durability and sharpness.

Hartmann Mosquito Forceps

  • Differ from Tungsten Carbide Iris Scissors in their design and purpose, primarily used for hemostatic clamping rather than precise cutting.

Extra Delicate (XD) Scissors

  • Primarily intended for intricate surgical procedures requiring minimal tissue trauma, allowing for careful dissection.

Operating Scissors

  • Noted for their general versatility in surgical settings but lack specific features that enhance precision compared to specialized instruments.

Allis Forceps

  • Primarily used for grasping and holding tissue; effective for holding organs or tissues during surgery.

Scissors Comparison

  • OR Grade 3 1⁄2” scissors differ from OR Grade 4 1⁄2” scissors in their cutting capacity and intended usages, with Grade 4 being more robust.
  • Precision scissors provide the highest degree of cutting control and accuracy in surgical settings.
