SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS

A surgical instrument is a tool or device for performing specific actions or carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operation, such as modifying biological tissue, or to provide access for viewing it. Over time, many different kinds of surgical instruments and tools have been invented. Some surgical instruments are designed for general use in all sorts of surgeries, while others are designed for only certain specialties or specific procedures. Accordingly, the nomenclature of surgical instruments follows certain patterns, such as a description of the action it performs

Surgical instruments are hand-held tools or implements used by clinicians for the performance of surgical tasks. A vast assortment of instruments can be found in an operating suite. Scalpels, forceps, scissors, retractors, and clamps are used extensively. The nature of certain surgical procedures requires a more specialized set of instruments. For example, bone saws, files, drills (Figure 89-5), and mallets are commonly utilized in orthopedic surgery. Surgical instruments are generally made of carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, and are available in a range of sizes.
