For further dissecting of fascias, aponeurosis and soft tissues are used, in addition to scalpels, knives, scissors, electric knife, laser scalpels, ultrasonic devices, and other gadgets.

Stopping bleeding

The Stage is carried out with the use of a ligature for clamping the vessel, stitching fabrics, etc.

Tissue Fixation

Surgical instruments have to provide dilution of the wound edges and fixation of organs for better viewing and ease of carrying manipulation in the depth of the wound.

Main stage

Connection tissue

All of them are made of stainless chrome or high carbon steel, possessing a complex of valuable mechanical, physico-chemical and technological properties. Surgical instruments are made in accordance with the approved medical standards. Their quality largely depends on the initial properties of the materials from which they are made. All medical devices must meet special requirements: non-toxicity and biological inertness to the tissues and environments of the human body. In the manufacture of tools you need to ensure that they will be subjected to aseptic processing, which should not affect the shape and properties. An important indicator of materials – increased corrosion resistance. To surgical tool was stainless, steel add a certain amount of chromium.
