Cutting & Dissecting
Cutting & Dissecting
Cutting instruments have sharp edges.
They are used to dissect, incise, separate, or excise tissue.
Most instrument sets will include #3
and #7 knife handles & suture, curved mayo, metz and tenotomy scissors.
Knife Handles
Come in various
widths & lengths
Blades are attached
by slipping the slit in the blade into the groove on the handle
#7 #4 #3
Knife Blades
Blades with
numeric prefix of “1” (e.g., 10, 11, 12, 15) fit #3 or #7 handles
Blades with the
numeric prefix “2” (e.g., 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) fit #4 handles
Knife Blades
#10 are used for
large skin incisions
#15 are used for
short shallow incisions
#11 are used for
initial skin puncture
- f tiny deep
incisions
#10 #15 #11
Other Knife handles
Long handles are
used inside deep incisions (e.g., open abdominal cases)
Beaver knifes are
used for small delicate cases
Scissors
Blades of scissors may
be straight, angled, or curved
Tips may be pointed
- r blunt, handles may
be long or short
Should be used only
for their intended purpose
Straight Mayo (Suture) Scissors
Bandage/Dressing Scissors

Grasping & Holding
Grasping & Holding
These instruments are used to
grasp tissue and hold it in place without injuring surrounding tissues
Forceps can be ringed or the
thumbed variety
Grasping & Holding
Most instrument sets will include
kocher, allis, babcock, adson, tissue, debakey forceps, sponge sticks & towel clips.

Clamping & Occluding
Clamping & Occluding
These instruments are used to
apply pressure
Some clamps are designed to crush
the structure when applied
Others are noncrushing and are
used to occlude or secure tissue
Clamping & Occluding
Most instrument sets will include
mosquito, crile, kelly, tonsil, peon, and right angle clamps.

Care & Handling of Instruments
Handling instruments
Instruments are placed firmly into the
surgeon’s palm in such a manner that it is ready of immediate use.
Ringed instruments are handed with the box
locks closed.
Curved instruments are passed with the
curve in the direction of intended use.
To facilitate suturing the needle is
secured about 1/8 inch down from the tip of the needle holder and about a third of the distance from the eye or swaged end
Care of Instruments
During the procedure,
used instruments should wiped with a damp sponge or placed in a basin of sterile distilled water.
Care of Instruments
Do not saline on
instruments.
Do not allow blood to
dry on instruments.
Saline & blood can
damage instrument surfaces causing corrosion and pitting.
Care of Instruments
Flush suction tips with
sterile distilled water periodically to keep lumens patent.
Flush all lumened
instruments thoroughly at the end
- f case to prevent
blood from drying inside lumens.
