    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION

    While considering methods for sterilization procedures, it is important to differentiate between sterilization and disinfection.


    * Sterilization kills all viable microorganisms.
    * Disinfection only reduces the number of viable microorganisms.

    High-level disinfection will kill most vegetative microorganisms but will not kill the more resistant bacterial spores. Commonly used disinfectants such as alcohol, iodophors, quaternary ammonium and phenolic compounds are not effective sterilants and, therefore, are not acceptable for use on items intended to be used in survival surgical procedures.

    The preferred methods of sterilization are high-pressure steam/temperature (in autoclaves) for items that can withstand high temperature and ethylene oxide gas for items that cannot withstand high temperature. However, cold chemical st

    SURGICAL RETRACTORS TYPES AND USAGE

    Surgical Retractors

    A retractor is a surgical instrument that is used to hold back underlying organs and tissues, so that body parts under the incision may be accessed without any fear of damage to the organs lying at the above levels. Surgical retractors have a wide variety and retractors come under various shapes, sizes and strength.

    Importance of Surgical Retractors

    During the dissection/inspection, a surgeon needs an exposure best as possible while inflicting a minimum of trauma to the surrounding tissue. The handles of the retractor may be hook-shaped, notched, or ring-shaped to give the holder a firm grip without tiring. The blades of the retractors are at a right angle to the shaft. The blades can be smooth, raked, or hooked.

    Materials

    Surgical retractors require a very high-grade stainless steel

    TYPES OF STAINLESS STEEL USED IN MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS

    Stainless Steel used in Instruments and wearable Metal Objects

    Stainless Steel is a generic term commonly used to describe a group of Iron-based alloys which exhibit a phenomenal resistance to rusting or corrosion because of it’s Chromium content. Chromium has been added in small amounts to strengthen Steel since the Famous Eads Bridge spanned the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri, in 1872. But it was only discovered in the present century that when Iron was alloyed with Chromium in excess of 10%, and Carbon held suitably low, it was effectively rustproof. The term “Stainless” was
    first used to describe steel cutlery that was produced in Sheffield England in C.1916. In 1913 316L stainless Steel was first patented, In 1926 a Stainless Steel composed of 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel was

    How to evaluate quality of surgical instruments?

    Surgical instruments are specially designed tools to perform specific operation; some surgical instruments are designed for general use in surgery, while others are designed for a specific procedure or surgery.

    As these are special tools, quality is one of the key factors whether purchasing new instruments, or merely evaluating you already own. An evaluation criterion is highly dependent on the product type and its functionality e.g. endoscopes functionality and quality should not be compared with hand tools such as scissors and forceps. However some general attributes need to consider when purchasing new instruments.

    Raw Material
    Raw material plays vital role in surgical instruments, high quality raw material instruments last longer without loosing their shape and functionality. Selection of raw material some depends on the intended function of the tool, e.g. Scissors can
