appendices, and other delicate tissue.During appendix removal, it is used to hold the appendix or
the caecum (part of the intestine) During laporotomy (abdominal surgery), it is used to hold the
small intestine. It is used to hold the surrounding organs when two blood vessels need to be ligated
(joined). It is used to hold the fallopian tube during its removal (salpingectomy) in cases of
abnormal pregnancy or cancer. It is used to hold the uterus during its removal (hysterectomy).

 MAYO SCISSOR STRAIGHT

USES- Straight-bladed Mayo scissors are designed for cutting body tissues near the surface of a
wound. As straight-bladed Mayo scissors are also used for cutting sutures, they are also referred to
as "suture scissors". Curved-bladed Mayo scissors allow deeper penetration into the wound than
the type with straight blades, also used for cut suture thread, bandage, and gauze piece.
 METZENBAUM SCISSORS/ FINE SCISSORS

USES- Used to cut fine structures like vessels, tendons, and other soft tissue. Metzenbaum scissors
are surgical scissors designed for cutting delicate tissue and blunt dissection. The scissors come in
variable lengths and have a relatively long shank-to-blade ratio. They are constructed of stainless
steel and may have tungsten carbide cutting surface inserts. The blades can be curved or straight,
and the tips are usually blunt. This is the most common type of scissors used in organ-related
operations.
 KELLY HEMOSTATIC FORCEPS

USES-An essential component for any tactical medical kit, these sterile, curved 5.5" Kelly
Hemostatic Forceps with a serrated blunt tip can be used to clamp large blood vessels, manipulate
heavy tissue, and dissect soft tissue.
 BURLISHEAR

USES-
A Burlishear is used to clamp deep blood vessels. Burlishears have two closed finger rings.
Burlishears with an open finger ring is called tonsil hemostats. It is mainly used during heart
surgery and brain surgrery.
 SPONGE FORCEPS

USES- Sponge forceps are mostly used in the surgical procedure to create a surgical site using a
sponge to paint betadine or spirit. Another use of a sponge forceps is to hold the hard surface and
to hold and retract the cervix. Sponge Forceps are used both in non-surgical and surgical
gynecogical procedures. They are able to atraumatically grasp and hold the bladder or cervix
during an examination, and they can be used to manipulate the tissue while the doctor performs
the procedure.
 TOWEL CLAMP/CLIP

USES -This Surgical Instrument is used to hold and grasp towels and drapes, to maintain a sterile
field during surgery or any invasive procedure. A towel clamp is a surgical instrument which is
used to secure towels and surgical draping during a medical procedure. In addition to being used
