Surgical instruments are tools that surgeons use to help them perform surgical procedures. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Some surgical instruments can be used for multiple surgical procedures while others are designed specifically for one surgical operation. For example, the scalpel is primarily used as an incisional instrument and may not be appropriate for other surgical procedures such as prostatectomy or hernia repair. In this blog post, we will discuss which surgical instruments should be used in each procedure to ensure that your surgeon has all the necessary equipment at their disposal!
