Surgical Instruments

Just like humans, the lives of animals are also important to keep the ecosystem healthy and stable. The existence of many species depends upon the survival of others. Without animals, the human race would cease to exist, and our ecosystem would destabilize to the extent that the earth's environment might become hostile for living beings. Every year, so many diseased or injured animals around the globe are treated through veterinary surgery with the help of surgical instruments. During surgery, the betterment of the patient’s health is considered the most important factor. Veterinary surgery requires the complete focus and dedication of the surgeon to diagnose and treat diseases, injuries, and deformities in animals. Veterinarians perform multiple procedures, such as orthopedics, soft tissue surgery, dental surgery, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, tibial tuberosity advancement, equine surgeries, hand and neck surgery, etc. Most general and routine procedures performed by veterinarians are neuters, spay, and minor mass excisions. Surgeons use different tools and instruments to perform surgery. The surgical instruments are used to separate, incise, excise, and dissect the tissues or organs. Each surgical instrument is designed for a specific purpose. There are many different companies around the world that manufacture and supply these tools to surgeons. Today, we will discuss three of them in detail.
