1. KIDNEY DISH, medium, 250x140x40mm,
stainless steel - is a shallow basin with a kidney-
shaped footprint and sloping walls used in medical
and surgical wards to receive soiled dressings and other medical waste. Reusable kidney
dishes are usually made of stainless steel, while disposable ones may be made of paper
pulp or plastic. The shape of the dish allows it to be held against the patient's body to
catch any falling fluids or debris.
2. SCISSORS, MAYO, 17 cm, curved - allow
deeper penetration into the wound than the type
with straight blades. The curved style of Mayo
scissor is used to cut thick tissues such as those
found in the uterus, muscles, and foot. Mayo scissors used for dissection are placed in
tissue with the tips closed. The scissors are then opened so that the tips open and spread
out the tissue during the dissection process.
3. FORCEPS, TOWEL CLAMP, BACKAUS, 13 cm -
is a perforating clamp used for grasping tissue,
securing towels or drapes, and holding or reducing
small bone fractures.
4. FORCEPS, SPONGE, FOERSTER, 24cm, serrated
jaws, straight - used to hold swabs or sponges for

mopping up the site. This involves a scissor-type operation with ratcheted handles. The
blades are loops with serrated opposing faces and the forceps may be straight or for
better visibility of the site, curved. The most common medical area to utilize sponge
forceps is gynecology. They are often used in surgical female sterilization procedures,
such as the insertion of an intrauterine device. In such cases, curved forceps are
generally recommended.
5. SPECULUM-RETR., KALLMORGEN, size 1 / 70x40mm, set of
2, vag. - used to retract the walls of the vagina to examine the
anterior, posterior and lateral walls of the vagina during pelvic
examination, pap smear, urinary tract sensitivity and culture and
vaginal biopsy. The instrument has a singular blade attached to a
handle which is held by the non-dominant hand. It is inserted into the
vagina while the procedure is performed with the dominant hand. The blades of the
Kallmorgen Retractor are available in different sizes including 70 by 33 mm and 90 by
33 mm.
6. SPECULUM-RETR., KALLMORGEN, size 2/ 90x40mm, set of
2, vag. - used to retract the walls of the vagina to examine the
anterior, posterior and lateral walls of the vagina during pelvic
examination, pap smear, urinary tract sensitivity and culture and
vaginal biopsy. The instrument has a singular blad e attached to a

handle which is held by the non-dominant hand. It is inserted into the vagina while the
procedure is performed with the dominant hand.
7. SPECULUM, AUVARD, 240 x 75 x 38 mm, vaginal, with weight -
The auvard weighted vaginal speculum is called thus since it is used
inside the vagina. It comes with a weight which can be separated for use.
This speculum has one blade and it helps in keeping the vagina open so that the
gynecologist can work with both hands free.
8. DILATATOR, UTERINE, HEGAR, double-
ended, set of 8 dilatators - are a set of metal rods of
increasing diameters, from a few millimeters up to
26 millimeters. The rods are round, slightly curved,
and have a conal tip. Some sets have conal tips at
both ends, while others have one end flattened for
handling. Hegar dilators are marked with a Hegar
number equivalent to 0.5 millimeters. Hegar dilators are used to induce cervical
dilation in order to gain entry to the interior of the uterus. It is widely used in
gynecology to open up the cervix. This may be necessary prior to a uterine curettage or
biopsy.
9. SOUND, UTERINE, SIMS, 32 cm , rigid -
inserted into the woman’s uterus from the cervix so

that the length of the uterus can be determine and to find out what direction the uterus
and the cervical canal take so that it can be determined the amount of dilation which has
already taken place and to even further the dilation to the amount which is required.
10. FORCEPS, SEIZING, POZZI, 25 cm, tenaculum,
straight - used to hold the cervix during intrauterine
procedures.
11. FORCEPS, SEIZING, KELLY, OVARY, 32
cm, 18 mm jaws, curved - mainly used to
remove conception products from the vagina and
to do a curettage.
12. CURETTE, UTERINE, RECAMIER, 8 mm wide,
rigid, sharp - used to remove endometrial tissue for
diagnostic purposes.
rigid, sharp - used to remove endometrial tissue for
diagnostic purposes.
14. CURETTE, UTERINE, RECAMIER, 14
mm wide, rigid, sharp - used to remove
endometrial tissue for diagnostic purposes.
15. CURETTE, UTERINE, RECAMIER, 8 mm wide, rigid,
blunt - used to remove conception products from the uterine
cavity.
rigid, blunt - for removal of retained products of
conception from the uterine cavity.

cavity.
20. BASKET, STERILIZING, 480 x 255x 100mm, + lid - A
sterilization basket is a perforated container for storing and
sterilizing medical instruments and consumables.
