Our Top 5 findsYou only have to leaf through the pages of a surgical instrument catalogue or browse the pages of a surgical sales website to see a wide range of instruments and devices, but who are they named after? We have put together a brief guide to shed some light on some of the pioneers behind common surgical instrument names: Kelly ForcepsKelly Forceps are a type of haemostat,( a surgical instrument used to control bleeding) they can also be used for occluding blood vessels and manipulating tissues amongst other purposes. They are named in honour of Howard Kelly, MD who is cited as one of the first Professors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at John Hopkins University. Crile ForcepCrile Forcep was designed by George Washington Crille born in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr Crile was a teacher, lecturer and author as well as a surgeon and was the founder of the American College of Surgeons. His accomplishments do not end there though, he is credited as being the first surgeon to have succeeded in a direct blood transfusion. The Forcep is most commonly used for clamping blood vessels or tissue prior to cauterization or ligation and in laparoscopic
procedures for soft tissue dissection no deeper than 6-8 inches.  MetzenbaumMetzenbaum Nelson Scissors – Born on 1st April 1876 in Cleveland, Ohio Myron Metzenbaum was an American surgeon specialising in ear, nose and throat medicine and was considered an authority in the field of reconstructive surgery. His namesake scissors are most commonly used for dissecting and cutting tissue. Metzenbaum-Nelson scissors tend to be longer than standard Metzenbaum scissors and are well placed for thoracic procedures. Aufricht ScissorsAufricht Scissors – The father of plastic surgery ( as credited by the America Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery ) Gustave Aufricht led an exploratory frontier in surgical reconstruction and functional repairs to improve patients appearance. He was born in Hungary in 1894 where he also attended medical school before moving to New York in 1923. The Aufricht Scissors are a multi-use tool used in endonasal and rhinoplasty procedures. Chevalier Jackson Tracheotomy TubeChevalier Jackson Tracheotomy Tube – The Tracheostomy was an ancient hypothesised procedure adopted as early as 3600BC by the Egyptians, it wasn’t until 1909 however that that a lower tracheotomy was undertaken by a physician called Chevalier Jacksons ( he also earned the label as the father of endoscopy ) and it was used as a means of providing emergency ventilation to patients suffering obstruction, disease or tracheal damage.

In this article we will consider some of these factors and offer a few tips for selecting an appropriate pair of scissors, tweezers and forceps. Types of Surgical InstrumentsMost of our surgical instruments can be used for general surgery in a research laboratory setting. Instruments may be roughly categorized by function:
In addition to surgical instruments, we have many accessories available, which include all the extras needed for surgery. These include clamps, from large towel clamps to delicate vessel clips and bulldog clamps, drills, sutures, binocular loupes, biopsy punches and more. Cutting InstrumentsScissors are cutting instrument with two blades joined together at a pivot point so that the sharp edges glide against each other to shear material that is between the blades. Here are some tips to keep in mind when selecting an appropriate pair of surgical scissors:
Some common types of scissors include:
Grasping InstrumentsSurgical forceps may be broadly divided into two categories, ring forceps (also called hemostats, hemostatic forceps and locking forceps) and thumb forceps (frequently called tweezers or pinning forceps). Here are some tips to keep in mind when selecting an appropriate pair of forceps:
Ring forceps, also called hemostats or locking forceps, are an instrument for grasping, holding firmly or exerting traction upon objects especially for delicate operations. They are hinged and look like ring scissors. Frequently, hemostatic forceps have a locking mechanism called a ratchet, which is used for clamping. The jaws of the locking forceps gradually come together as each increment of the ratchet is employed. Locking hemostatic forceps may be called clamps and are used to securely hold tissue. When they are used to control blood flow, they are called hemostats. Hemostats are typically used to compress blood vessels or other tubular structures to obstruct the flow of blood or fluids. Common types of ring forceps include:
Thumb forceps are spring forceps used by compression between your thumb and forefinger and are used for grasping, holding or manipulating body tissue. They have no ratchet in the handle. Two broad categories of thumb forceps are dressing forceps and tissue forceps. Dressing forceps are used when dressing wounds and removing dressings. Very fine dressing forceps are also used in eye surgery. Tissue forceps generally have teeth, which offer a better grip on tissues while minimizing tissue damage. Common types of thumb forceps include:
RetractorsRetractors are used to hold an incision or a wound open, to hold an organ or tissue out of the way to expose what's underneath.
Needle Holders/Needle DriversNeedle holders typically have a textured tip for a secure hold. Often they have a ratchet (or other mechanism for locking). Some have tungsten carbide inserts in the tips. Tungsten carbide inserts are more durable than stainless steel, last longer and typically offer a better grip. Tungsten carbide (TC) is harder than stainless steel. Titanium needle holders are lighter weight, which makes them easier to use during long procedures. Choose your needle holders based on the size of the needle you are using, so that they securely hold your needle. The smaller the needle, the smaller the needle holder. For standard needle
holder the ratchet locks the tips on the needle of standard needle holders. The tips can be straight or curved. Serrated tips work better for holding larger needles. Standard Needle Holder TipsThe ratchet locks the tips on the needle of standard needle holders. The tips can be straight or curved. Serrated tips work better for holding larger needles. Smooth tips are designed for the smallest needles. Some needle holders have built-in suture scissors. Micro Needle HoldersMicro needle holders have the spring (squeeze) handles for ambidextrous use. They come with or without a lock, smooth or serrated, and straight or curved. Choosing Your InstrumentsThe instruments you select for your procedure are affected by many factors. Basic knowledge of common surgical instruments can help you select appropriate tools for your application.

See More Surgical Instruments What instrument is commonly used to clamp blood vessels?Locking hemostatic forceps may be called clamps and are used to securely hold tissue. When they are used to control blood flow, they are called hemostats. Hemostats are typically used to compress blood vessels or other tubular structures to obstruct the flow of blood or fluids.
Which instrument is used to clamp off the blood supply in an artery or vein?A hemostat (also called a hemostatic clamp, arterial forceps, or pean after Jules-Émile Péan) is a surgical tool used in many surgical procedures to control bleeding.
Which instrument is used to clamp small blood vessels quizlet?A hemostat is used to clamp blood vessels or tag sutures. Its jaws may be straight or curved. most commonly used for clamping blood vessels or tissue before cauterization or ligation. They may also be used for soft tissue dissection typically no deeper than 6-8 inches or in Laparotomy procedures.
What surgical instruments are used to close off blood vessels?One such instrument is the surgical clamp. Surgeons use clamps for nearly everything — to stop a bleed by closing off a vessel or often as extensions of their own digits. Two clamps that are constantly called for are named the Kelly, after Howard Kelly, and the Halsted, for William Halsted.
