Health and Care surgical instruments are fully reusable.
It is recommended that electrosurgical instruments and leads are serviced after every 40 uses and that leads are visually inspected prior to every use. For example, a typical forceps or scissors repair service would include dismantling, cleaning, reassembling, replacing rivets, sharpening and full testing. Stainless Steel Grades Health and Care surgical instruments are manufactured using the correct grades of stainless steels specified in BSENISO7153-1:2001 and these are listed below.
In this standard, the grades of stainless steel are given a “Reference Letter” which cross references the grades of material. Grade A, B and C would be generally described as 410 / 420 types and are extensively used for dental and surgical instruments. They are used for applications where cutting edges, wear resistance and strength are required.
Long service lives should be expected from martensitic stainless steel dental and surgical instruments, properly manufactured and subjected to appropriate cleaning procedures.
