2. INTRODUCTION
• Surgical instruments can be generally divided into five classes by function. These
classes are:
• Cutting instruments and dissecting: Scalpels, Scissors, Saws.
• Grasping or holding instruments: Smooth [anatomical] and Toothed [surgical]
Forceps, Towel Clamps, vascular clamps, and organ holders.
• Hemostatic instruments: Kocher’s and Bill Roth's clamps, hemostatic “mosquito”
forceps, a traumatic hemostatic forceps, Duchamp's needle, Heffner's hemostatic
forceps.
• Retractors:Farabef’s C-shaped laminar hook, blunt-toothed hook, sharp-toothed
hook, grooved probe, tamp forceps.
• tissue unifying instruments and materials: needle holders, surgical needles,
staplers, clips, adhesive tapes.

3. Scalpel
• This is a surgical knife that comes with a sharp stainless steel blade.
Whether it is a minor or a major surgery, a correct surgical incision is
a must, which is not possible without a scalpel. Each and every
surgery has its own specific needs. For instance, a minor surgery will
require a small incision whereas a major surgery may demand an
incision deep into the skin tissues. So taking this into consideration,
scalpels are manufactured in a variety of sizes. The blades of scalpel
are detachable and many times this instrument is designed for one
time use only.
