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.
