Whether working in a conflict zone or a good state of the art hospital, basic surgical instruments are necessary to perform even the most simple of operations. They consist of instruments such as scalpels, forceps, hooks and retractors.
Surgical face masks are protective barriers worn by medical professionals to avoid contact with microbes, which might be transmitted in the form of droplets.
When setting up a surgical facility, a factor that is of the utmost importance is the maintenance of complete sterilization of all the basic surgical instruments and the premises itself.
Extraction forceps are hinged, hand-held instruments designed to clasp and extract a tooth from its socket as a single piece, keeping the crown and root intact. The type of extraction forceps needed depends on the type of tooth that needs to be rooted out.
Surgical lamps, also called operating room lights, provide high-quality illumination, while carrying out medical procedures and surgeries on patients. They are used in surgical theatres, emergency rooms and medical examination rooms. These surgical lamps can continuously deliver bright light for a longer duration without causing excessive heat to either patients or doctors.
Operating theatres are filled with a complex range of surgical equipment such as surgical lamps and surgical ventilators. Since these surgical theatres are of such importance, it is essential to make sure that all equipment in them is top-quality.
As basic medical tools, surgical instruments play an important role to provide surgery and rescue actions for patients, hence, the safety and efficiency of basic surgical instruments are key to surgeries.
The San Diego-based company NuVasive has announced US-FDA 510(k) clearance for its Pulse spinal surgical automation platform.

According to a new market research report by BIS Research, the global surgical robotics market is expected to reach a value of $12.6 billion by the year 2025.
Researchers from the University of Bern, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital and the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology develop a high-precision, sensor-based surgical robot for spinal operations together with industry partners. Their project is being funded with two million Swiss francs, sponsored by the "BRIDGE" programme of the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Commission for Technology and Innovation.
