This blog post is geared toward junior colleagues or those who work in operation theatres but not necessarily in a surgical capacity. Jimy Medical has prepared it for you. Because of this, it will be easier for them to become accustomed to the surgical and ENT instruments that are utilized by doctors during the surgical process of opening and closing tissue once again.
Cutting Open / Separating Tissue
It is possible to make use of mechanical cutting equipment such as basic blades and scissors, in addition to technological cutting methods such as monopolar or bipolar diathermy or ultrasound. Surgeons are frequently forced to cut through multiple layers of tissue, and different types of surgical tools are used for each layer. As the apparatus evolves to become more complex, its maintenance and upkeep will unquestionably grow more challenging and expensive. It is important to exercise caution when using this surgical equipment because it frequently contains sharp edges.
Scalpels
Scalpels, which often have a handle and a blade that is only used once, are another tool that is frequently used for cutting.
Scissors
There are numerous variants of surgical shears, tweezers and scissors, each of which has a handle that differs in length, design, and size from the others. Each design, whether curved or straight, is optimally suited to particular procedures or stages of operation. There are both curved and straight ends. Ceramic is used in the coating of the Nero scissors, which helps enhance durability, life-cycle cost, anti-glare properties, the efficiency with which they can be cleaned, and overall performance.
Rhoto Micro Dissector
Some cutting instruments, like the Rhoton microdissection set, are more analogous to probes than they are too sharp ent instruments. This is a result of the tissue being dissected; in Rhoton’s case, the procedure is being performed in preparation for neurosurgery, and the brain is an extremely sensitive and delicate organ. As a consequence of this, in contrast to the training of muscle, a specific form and style are required.
Diathermy
The process of cutting and cauterizing tissue with an electrical current is called diathermy. If the injury is near a blood vessel, this is an effective method for stopping the bleeding. There are two different types: monopolar and bipolar. ENT Instruments classified as monopolar only have one electrode, while those classified as bipolar have two.
Electricity is produced by a machine, and this electricity is connected to the ENT instruments that the surgeon is using. There is a wide selection of equipment that is acceptable for use with diathermy, and it comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate a wide range of treatments.
Cleaning and Sterilization of ENT Instrument
If the ENT instruments surfaces are not kept clean, dried tissues will stick themselves to the surface of the instrument. The coating is highly susceptible to deterioration (if this is damaged then more tissue can stick to them, which makes it hard for the surgeon to use.) As a consequence of this, extreme caution is required whenever cleaning occurs to prevent the nonstick coating from becoming scratched.
Healing the Wounds
It is common practice to close a wound using either a suture or a staple. Needle holders are used to securing a firm grip on the needle during the suturing process. Sutures are available in a variety of materials and sizes. Because there are frequently multiple layers of tissue that need to be stitched, a dissolvable suture can be used subcutaneously (that is, under the skin), while a “regular” suture can be used at the skin level (which would need to be removed by a clinician once the wound has healed.) The stapling process is significantly quicker than the suturing process; nevertheless, reusable staplers are more complex and may be more challenging to clean.
