Surgical equipment refers to the various tools and instruments used by surgeons and medical professionals during surgical procedures. These instruments are designed to assist in tasks such as cutting, suturing, clamping, and examining tissues. Here's a general overview of some common types of surgical equipment: Scalpels: Sharp blades used for making incisions in the skin and tissues. Scissors: Used for cutting tissues and sutures. Different types include Mayo scissors (for heavy tissue), Metzenbaum scissors (for delicate tissue), and iris scissors (for fine, precise cutting). Forceps: Tweezer-like instruments used for grasping, holding, and manipulating tissues. Needle Holders: Specialized clamps used to hold needles while suturing. Hemostats: Clamps used to control bleeding by constricting blood vessels or tissues. Suction Devices: Used to remove blood and fluids from the surgical area to maintain a clear view.
