3 BASIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS Basic laparotomy instruments are essential to accomplish most types of general surgery. Each instrument can be placed into one of the four following basic categories: –Retracting and Occluding Instruments –Cutting and Dissecting Instruments –Clamping and Occluding Instruments –Grasping and Holding Instruments

4 Retracting and Exposing Instruments used to hold back or retract organs or tissue to gain exposure to the operative site. They are either "self- retaining" (stay open on their own) or "manual" (held by hand). When identifying retractors, look at the blade, not the handle.

5 Retracting and Exposing Instruments A Deaver retractor (manual) is used to retract deep abdominal or chest incisions. Available in various widths.

6 A Richardson retractor (manual) is used to retract deep abdominal or chest incisions Retracting and Exposing Instruments

7 An Army-Navy retractor (manual) is used to retract shallow or superficial incisions. Other names: USA, US Army.

8 Retracting and Exposing Instruments A goulet (manual) is used to retract shallow or superficial incisions.

9 A malleable or ribbon retractor (manual) is used to retract deep wounds. May be bent to various shapes. Retracting and Exposing Instruments

10 A Weitlaner retractor (self-retaining) is used to retract shallow incisions. Retracting and Exposing Instruments

11 A Gelpi retractor (self-retaining) is used to retract shallow incisions. Retracting and Exposing Instruments

12 A Balfour with bladder blade (self-retaining) is used to retract wound edges during deep abdominal procedures. Retracting and Exposing Instruments

13 Cutting and Dissecting Instruments are sharp and are used to cut body tissue or surgical supplies. Knife Handle, Scissors (left to right)

14 Cutting and Dissecting Instruments 7 handle with 15 blade (deep knife) - Used to cut deep, delicate tissue. 3 handle with 10 blade (inside knife) – Used to cut superficial tissue. 4 handle with 20 blade (skin knife) - Used to cut skin. #7, #3, #4 (left to right)

15 Straight Mayo scissors - Used to cut suture and supplies. Also known as: Suture scissors. EX: Straight Mayo scissors being used to cut suture. Cutting and Dissecting Instruments

16 Curved Mayo scissors - Used to cut heavy tissue (fascia, muscle, uterus, breast). Available in regular and long sizes. Cutting and Dissecting Instruments

17 Metzenbaum scissors - Used to cut delicate tissue. Available in regular and long sizes. Cutting and Dissecting Instruments

18 are used to compress blood vessels or hollow organs for hemostasis or to prevent spillage of contents. Clamping and Occluding Instruments

19 A hemostat is used to clamp blood vessels or tag sutures. Its jaws may be straight or curved. Other names: crile, snap or stat. Clamping and Occluding Instruments

20 A mosquito is used to clamp small blood vessels. Its jaws may be straight or curved. hemostat, mosquito (left to right)

21 A Kelly is used to clamp larger vessels and tissue. Available in short and long sizes. Other names: Rochester Pean. Kelly, hemostat, mosquito (left to right) Clamping and Occluding Instruments

22 A burlisher is used to clamp deep blood vessels. Burlishers have two closed finger rings. Burlishers with an open finger ring are called tonsil hemostats. Other names: Schnidt tonsil forcep, Adson forcep. Clamping and Occluding Instruments

23 A right angle is used to clamp hard-to-reach vessels and to place sutures behind or around a vessel. A right angle with a suture attached is called a "tie on a passer." Other names: Mixter. Clamping and Occluding Instruments

24 A hemoclip applier with hemoclips applies metal clips onto blood vessels and ducts which will remain occluded. hemoclip applier with hemoclips Clamping and Occluding Instruments

25 Grasping and Holding Instruments are used to hold tissue, drapes or sponges.

26 An Allis is used to grasp tissue. Available in short and long sizes. A "Judd-Allis" holds intestinal tissue; a "heavy allis" holds breast tissue. Grasping and Holding Instruments

27 A Babcock is used to grasp delicate tissue (intestine, fallopian tube, ovary). Available in short and long sizes.

28 A Kocher is used to grasp heavy tissue. May also be used as a clamp. The jaws may be straight or curved. Other names: Ochsner. Grasping and Holding Instruments

29 A Foerster sponge stick is used to grasp sponges. Other names: sponge forcep. Foerster sponge stick EX: Sponge sticks holding a 4 X 4 and probang. Grasping and Holding Instruments
