Definition
stainless steal   which is the combination of carbon, chromium , iron , and alloys, this combination of metals adds strength to the instrument and resistance to corrosion during repeated sterilization,     show
🗑
knifes and scalpels   show scalpel handle sizes #3, #4 #7 and #9 . the #3 and #4 standard handles are 5 inches in legnth and the #7 handle is longer . the #3 knife handle is also in a longer handle marked 3l and 4 is too 4l . Blades #10 , #11, #12 , and #15 fit #3, #7, and #9 hand   les . blades #20 -25 fit a #4 handle . any beaver blade with fit a beaver blade handle . the most frequently used beaver blade is a #69 blade.  
🗑
show used during a surgical procedure maybe tissue scissors, suture scissors, wire scissors or bandage / dressing scissors, curved mayo scissors , straight mayo scissors , curve metzenbajm and specialized scissors .      
🗑
show instruments are designed to manipulate tissue to facilitate dissection or suturing or to reduce and sterilize fractured bone during internal fixation. these instruments may or may not have a retched locking mechanism.   thumb forceps , also refereed to as pickups don't have ratchets and are constructed with a flattened spring handle . thumb forceps are used in the nondomaite hand to grasp and hold tissue when suturing or dissection . adson , Ferris-smith , debakey ,   brown , Russian, Gerald and cushing bayonet forceps are both with and without teeth and ratcheted instruments are allis , babcok , tenaculum and kosher.  
🗑
clamping/ occluding   instruments are designed to occlude or constrict tissue and are constructed with opposing ring handles for fingers , interlocking ratchets located just blow the ringed handles to lock in place.   bone- hold clamping , Backus towel clamp , homeostatic clamps, bulldog vascular clamps   show
🗑
retracting / viewing   show    
🗑
show malleable , wirelike instruments for the exploration of a structure. probes are typically found in abdominal , gallbladder , or rectal instrument sets and are often used with guides called grooved directors.      
🗑
dilating   dilators are instruments used to gradually dilate an opening or duct to allow for introdcuton of larger instruments or to open a stricture.     show
🗑
suturing   are instruments used to hold a curved needle for suturing called needle holders. needle holders vary in length and maybe fine , regular , or heavy, the choice of needle holder depends on the depth of the wound . type of tissue adn the size of the neddle   show hatched serrations are usually effective for needle mobilization . like scissors with tungsten carbide inserts with gold handels. most needle holders are constructed as clamps that is designed with ringed handles , ratchets , shanks , box locks and jaws.  
🗑
suction   frazier , baron , yankauer and poole are a few types of suction they can be non disposable or disposable . are instruments that remove blood and body fluids from a body cavity.     show
🗑
torcar   is an instrument with a sharp point and cutting edges that allows penetration of a body cavity for the drainage of fluid or the introduction of a endoscope.   show  
🗑
mircoinstumentation   are instruments that are used to perform microsurgery . when used in conjunction with an operating microscope , allow the manipulation and repair of very small structures and tissue.     show
🗑
instrument care and handling   the handing of instruments , like all tasks related to the surgical procedure , has three phases : preoperative, intraoperative , and postoperative tasks. this helps to 1) prevent injury to the patient or surgical team members, 2) extend the life of   the instruments and 3) allow the instruments to perform correctly and consistently.   show
🗑
types of instruments sets   show    
🗑
show is general used in abdominal procedures typically required for major and minor laparotomy set procedures. laparoscopic sets, used with increasing frequency for abdominal procedures, are equipped with one set of basic laparoscopic instruments &   electrosurgical cords that can be stem sterilized and another set that has the camera light cord, insufflator hose, and laparoscopy that must be sterilized via an alternative method.    
🗑
show Monopolar electrosurgery can be used for several modalities including cut, blend, desiccation, and fulguration. Using a pencil instrument, the active electrode is placed in the entry site and can be used to cut tissue and coagulate bleeding      
🗑
bipolar electrosurgery   uses lower voltages so less energy is required. Electrosurgical current in the patient is restricted to just the tissue between the arms of the forceps electrode.     show
🗑
powered instruments   these are instruments used in the OR that are powered by air, nitrogen, electricity, or battery.   its very important to pass powered instruments with the safety switch in off position . this prevents the instrument from being accidentally activated and causing injury to the surgical team or the patient.   show
🗑
show the compound operating microscope is a binocular apparatus that uses bent light wave for variable magnification of tissue during microsurgery.      
🗑
magnification   show focal length of the objective lens ranges from 100 to 400 mm.    
🗑
show the resolving power of an objective lens is measured by its ability to differentiate two lines or points in an object. The greater the resolving power, the smaller the minimum distance between two lines or points that can still be distinguished.      
🗑
show use fiber optics to transmit light waves through the microscope's optic system.      
🗑
paraxial illuminators   contains tungsten or halogen bulbs and focusing lenses mounted to the body of the microscope.     show
🗑
video monitors , recorders and cameras   these are used so the procedure can be viewed on a video monitor and recorded for doctomantion . the stills from the camera can be used for later study.   show  
🗑
fiber-optic headlamps and other light sources   this is to illuminate the interior of the body during endoscopic procedures .   show  
🗑
pulse lavage irrigator   show    
🗑
show a machine that uses ultrasonic energy to fragment the lens and I/A or irrigator / aspirator to remove the fragments.      
🗑
cryotherapy   show    
🗑
insufflator   is the machine that infuses the co2 gas into the abdominal cavity.   show  
🗑
insufflation   show    
🗑
nerve stimulators   show    
🗑
sunction systems   suction apparatus utilizes a vacuum to remove fluids from the surgical site and patient's airway.   show tip : removes the fluid from the source .  
🗑
pneumatic tourniquets   show site for the sterile team members is improved.    
🗑
penatic tourniquets consist of   cuff , tubing and a power source   show  
🗑
tourniquet application   show 4) the appropriate cuff is snugly applied and secured over the padding , 5) the tubing is connected securely to the cuff, 6) if necessary a protective covering is applied to the cuff. 7) the patient is prepped and draped , 8) the extremely is   exsanguinated with the use of gravity and or, an esmarch bandage, 9) the tourniquet inflated to the correct pressure and the timmer started. 10) the tourniquet is deflated and the tine is noted and 11) everything is documented.  
🗑
show consists of a compressor that is electrically operated , connecting tubing, and one or more sleeves that enclose that patients limbs.      
🗑
drapes   are used by the surgical team to serve as a barrier to isolate and protect the operative site from contaminants and microbes that can cause SSI .     show
🗑
fenestration drapes   Drape sheet that has an opening that is placed to expose the anatomic area where the incision will be made.   show  
🗑
incise drapes   show    
🗑
aperture drapes   show    
🗑
transverse fenestrated drapes   is a drape that is used to expose the transverse incisions of the surgical site.   show  
🗑
non fenestrated sheets   are for minor surgical or therapeutic procedures, create a sterile field around the wound site with sterile towel drapes. Multi-layered and poly-lined for added strength.     show
🗑
stockinettes   show    
🗑
show are neurological sponges also referred to as patties.      
🗑
composite skin graft   show    
🗑
the three layer dressing   is used to cover any size incision from which drainage ,is expected. the contact layer will be on of the three types with these preporses occlusive nonocclusive and semi occlusive.   show  
🗑
catheters   show    
🗑
suprapubic catheter   is placed into the bladder through a surgical opening in the abdominal wall..   show  
🗑
cutting / dissecting   are instruments with one or more sharp edges that are used for incision, sharp dissection , or excision of tissue are classified as cutting / dissection instruments.   show  
🗑
