How to choose plastic surgery instrument sets
- Basic or procedure set. The basic set covers minor excision, scar revision and closure; procedure sets add the instruments one operation needs, such as the navel marker or the skin graft knife.
- Contents. Compare each set page's contents table with your own count sheet; the piece count is computed from that list.
- Add singles. Single instruments are in the Plastic Surgery Instruments categories.
What are plastic surgery sets used for?
- Minor plastic surgery: excision of small skin lesions, scar revision, skin biopsy and fine wound closure.
- Abdominoplasty: marking the excision, raising and holding the abdominal flap, repositioning the navel, hemostasis and closure.
- Cleft palate and lip repair: raising the mucoperiosteal flaps of the hard palate, lip incision and closure in a small mouth.
- Microsurgery: vessel anastomosis in free tissue transfer and replantation, nerve repair and fine dissection under the microscope.
- Skin grafting: cutting split-thickness grafts and placing them on the wound bed in burn and reconstructive surgery.
