This document discusses various types of laparoscopic instruments used in surgery including forceps, scissors, graspers, and hooks. It provides details on the features of each type of instrument such as their shaft length, jaw action, flush ports for cleaning, and optional electrocautery capabilities. The document also covers the proper cleaning and sterilization procedures for laparoscopic instruments, recommending the use of a neutral pH detergent for cleaning followed by high-level disinfection or sterilization using steam, chemicals like glutaraldehyde, or plasma.

21.  For the cleaning process, a detergent with a neutral pH
of 7.0 is recommended.
 Both external and internal surfaces of the instruments must be
cleaned thoroughly, if not, they cannot be sterilized.
 Laparoscopic instruments can be cleaned using an ultrasonic
cleaner.
 Following the cleaning process, the devices should be
sterilized or high-level disinfected using chemical agents.

22.  Gluteraldehyde is one of the most appropriate
chemical high-level disinfectants for laparoscopes
accessories
 For sterilization, steam, liquid immersion or plasma
are some of the sterilization modalities that can be
used.
