Frequently Asked Questions

Surgical instruments are tools or devices designed for performing specific actions during a surgical procedure, such as cutting, dissecting, grasping, holding, retracting, or suturing different types of tissues.

Surgical instruments are typically made of stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium. The stainless still has elements like Chromium which gives corrosion protection and Carbon which allows it to be hardened and ensures they don’t bend during surgery

Premium quality surgical instruments are finished with matte or satin to reduce the glare from surgical lighting.
It helps the instrument stay corrosion-resistant for many years.
Generally in the UK, the recommended material is stainless steel. It should have no sharp edges and should be able to pass any industry tests like the British standard BS 5194.
For example, scissors are requested to cut test pieces.

For most metal instruments that are well stored in double-wrapped linen or plastic paper, they can be safely stored for up to 96 weeks

Although they can be lowest risk surgical instruments, they should be CE marked and indicated on the packaging where possible

There are physical damages like scratches that can happen to the instruments. Scratches to the passive layer can be through improper handling of the instrument or frequent usage.
Harsh cleaners (highly acidic or alkaline) can also cause damage to the passive layer of the instrument

Here are common examples of surgical instruments
• Scalpels
• Scissors
• Forceps
• Needle holders
• Retractors
• Saws
• Elevators

Several types exist, including scalpels, forceps, scissors, retractors, clamps, needle holders, and specula, each designed for specific surgical tasks.

In the UK, surgical instruments must meet specific standards set by regulatory bodies such as the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to ensure safety and efficacy.

Maintenance involves regular cleaning, sterilisation, functional testing, and calibration, following the manufacturer's guidelines and healthcare regulations to ensure patient safety and equipment reliability.

Choose supplies based on the type of surgery, the preference of the surgical team, and compliance with health and safety standards. Quality and reliability should be paramount considerations.
