Microsurgical instruments and their care.

Abstract

The microsurgical instruments should be chosen such that they are less than 10 cm long, made of titanium, dulled, have very little closing pressure and the working parts do not open more than 10mm. They should be cleaned with ultrasonic cleaners and sterilised preferably by Ethylene oxide, though Cidex and dry heat can also be used.

Microsurgical training with beads.

To assist beginners in the microsurgical practices of handling instruments and tying knots before using an animal model, the authors suggest the use of colored beads. These beads will diminish eyestrain and secondary fatigue. Also, working with colored beads might be a little more amusing and enjoyable for beginners in learning microsurgical techniques during preliminary studies to achieve the necessary orientation for working under the operating microscope.
