NEEDLE HOLDERS

Needle Holders

Needle holders are modified box-lock forceps designed to hold curved needles. The surgeon should thus be able to manipulate the needle with ease during suturing near the surface (short needle holders) or at a depth (long).

         Since the function of needle holders is to grasp needles the instruments look like artery forceps:

1.      Serration at the tips to prevent slipping of needle.

2.      Shafts with rings for thumb and fingers.

3.      Locking device.

         Fine needle holders are damaged by large needles and small needles are damaged by large needle holders. The varieties in use are:

Mayo

Gilles

Naughton Morgan

Kilner

Mayo-Hegar

GASTRIC & INTESTINAL CLAMPS

Gastric and Intestinal Clamps

Intestinal clamps are large self-retaining forceps with a primary function to occlude the bowel lumen.

         These clamps are indeed tissue forceps to allow firm holding of stomach and intestines.

         The non-crushing intestinal clamps do not cause permanent injury to the wall of the held viscus.

•       They occlude the viscus lumen and prevent spillage of infected bowel contents.

•       Temporarily occlude circulation in the bowel wall and thus keep the operative field free of blood.

•       Facilitate anastomosis by allowing the bowel ends to be approximated and manipulated.

The Varieties used are :

Doyans

Kockers

Lanes

Lane twin

Lloyds Davies rectal

Payers

TISSUE FORCEPS

Tissue Forceps

Tissue grasping forceps are designed to grasp tissues without crushing them so as to allow their manipulation.

         They look like hemostatic forceps except that the blades approximate only at the tips leave a space along the shaft for the tissue held. The tips are usually made in the form of teeth to reduce tissue damage and improve grip.

         To facilitate dissection body tissues need to be held, maneuvered, freed and approxi­mated. These instruments have shafts, rings and locking device.

The ones inure are:

Allis

Lane

Babcock

Littlewood

Stile

Duval

DeBakey

Dissecting Forceps

Dissecting Forceps

These are also called thumb forceps because their shafts are closed by the surgeon’s thumb. They are used to grasp tissues in order to facilitate dissection or suturing and are divided into toothed and non-toothed.

         Dissecting forceps have two shaft and no joint the tip is serrated and may have teeth. When pressed they provide a firm grip on tissues but the firmness depends on how much pressure is put on the shafts. There is no locking catch on the shafts. The shafts spring back to open position when pressure is released. They are used to hold tissues while dissecting. The varieties are:
Canadian
Mitchell
Adson
Lane
