OT Instruments Name List
A surgical instrument is a medical device for performing specific actions or carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operation, such as modifying biological tissue, or to provide access for viewing it. Over time, many different kinds of surgical instruments and tools have been invented.
Instruments in OT may be used for manipulation, retraction, cutting, suturing, suction and other purposes. There are typically three basic types of lamps used in an operating theatre environment – Incandescent, Gas Discharge and Light Emitting Diodes (LED). Incandescent and gas discharge lamps have traditionally been the main lamp types, utilizing halogen, tungsten, xenon, and quartz.
