Diathermy
• Diathermy uses an electric current to cause localized heating,
permitting cutting of tissue and coagulation of blood.
• It may be unipolar or bipolar, the former having several settings
depending on which function is required.
Unipolar diathermy
Bipolar diathermy
• Advantages
• Allows surgery to proceed with better hemostatic control than using sharp
instruments.
• Different modes can be used to achieve different effects on different
tissues.
• Disadvantages
• High currents used in diathermy equipment cause induction in cables
used for other purposes. This results in interference in the ECG and other
monitors when diathermy is in use.

It is divided into sections covering surgical instruments such as forceps, scissors, scalpels, and miscellaneous tools; examination equipment like endoscopes, otoscopes, and stethoscopes; dental and bandaging supplies; restraint devices; reproductive equipment; and equipment specific to small and large animals. Each item is described in 1-2 sentences to aid in identification.
The pacemaker tray contains various surgical instruments including retractors, forceps, scissors, and needle holders. Rake retractors are claw-shaped tools used to hold soft tissues during surgery. Stevens tenotomy scissors have long handles and small, sharp blades used for cutting membranes in procedures like ophthalmology and neurosurgery. Potts-Smith scissors have angled jaws between 25-90 degrees for trimming vessels in cardiac and thoracic surgeries. The tray is equipped for both general and specialized procedures.
This document provides an overview of the basic armamentarium used in oral surgery. It describes various instruments used for tasks like transferring sterile instruments, incising tissue, elevating mucoperiosteum, retracting soft tissue, controlling hemorrhage, grasping tissue, removing bone and pathological tissue, suturing mucosa, holding the mouth open, suctioning, irrigating, extracting teeth, and administering local anesthesia. Diagrams and descriptions are provided for each type of instrument. The document emphasizes the importance of surgeons having knowledge of the appropriate use of high quality instruments.
The document outlines the roles and responsibilities of nurses in preparing for and assisting with a modified radical mastectomy surgery, including setting up the operating room, preparing the patient and equipment, maintaining sterility during the procedure, taking instrument counts, and cleaning up after the surgery. Key steps involve draping and prepping the patient, passing instruments to the surgeons, monitoring the surgical field, and ensuring counts are correct before and after the procedure. The nurses work together and with the surgeons and anesthesiologist to ensure the surgery is performed safely and effectively.
Surgical instruments are specially designed tools used in surgery. There are four main categories of instruments: cutting/dissecting, clamping/occluding, grasping/holding, and retracting/exposing. Examples of common instruments are scalpels, scissors, forceps, retractors, and needle holders. Proper care, safe handling, and storage of instruments is important. Instruments should only be used as intended, regularly inspected, and stored in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination.
