Used for tissue or object grasping. Forceps are categorized into toothed or non-toothed at the tip. [21] (e.g.,Tissue forceps, Adson forceps, Bonney forceps, DeBakey forceps, Russian forceps) [21] Clamps (locking forceps) Clamps stabilize or hold tissue and objects in place. [21] They can be used for traumatic or atraumatic purposes.
Debakey forceps. Debakey forceps are a type of atraumatic tissue forceps used in vascular procedures to avoid tissue damage during manipulation. They are typically large (some examples are upwards of 12 inches (36 cm) long), and have a distinct coarsely ribbed grip panel, as opposed to the finer ribbing on most other tissue forceps.
Debakey forceps, an "atraumatic" forceps used extensively in cardiothoracic, vascular and head and neck surgery. Thumb forceps, known simply as forceps in surgical specialties , are commonly held in a pen grip between the thumb and index finger (sometimes also the middle finger ), with the top end resting on the first dorsal interosseous muscle ...
Jenkin's rule was the first research result in this area, showing that the then-typical use of a suture-length to wound-length ratio of 2:1 increased the risk of a burst wound, and suggesting a SL:WL ratio of 4:1 or more in abdominal wounds. [19] [20] A later study suggested 6:1 as the optimal ratio in abdominal closure. [21]
Appropriately applied with electrosurgical forceps, desiccation and coagulation result in the occlusion of blood vessels and halting of bleeding. While the process is technically a process of electrocoagulation, the term "electrocautery" is sometimes loosely, nontechnically and incorrectly used to describe it. The process of vaporization can be ...
Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) [1] is a method for cleaning out tooth decay (dental caries) from teeth using only hand instruments (dental hatchet and spoon-excavator) and placing a filling. It does not use rotary dental instruments ( dental drills ) to prepare the tooth and can be performed in settings with no access to dental equipment.
Surgery [a] is a medical specialty that uses manual and instrumental techniques to diagnose or treat pathological conditions (e.g., trauma, disease, injury, malignancy), to alter bodily functions (e.g., malabsorption created by bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass), to reconstruct or alter aesthetics and appearance (cosmetic surgery), or to remove unwanted tissues (body fat, glands, scars ...
Atraumatic extraction is a novel technique for extracting teeth with minimal trauma to the bone and surrounding tissues. It is especially useful in patients who are highly susceptible to complications such as bleeding, necrosis , or jaw fracture.
