When it comes to making high-quality surgical instruments, one material stands above all others — stainless steel. It’s known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and easy sterilization, which are essential for medical use. At Amois Surgical, we use carefully selected grades of stainless steel to ensure every instrument meets professional standards of safety and precision.
Why Stainless Steel Matters in Surgery
Surgical instruments must be strong, sharp, and resistant to rust. In hospitals and operating rooms, instruments are repeatedly sterilized under high heat and pressure. Only stainless steel can handle that without losing its quality or performance. That’s why it’s the preferred choice for scissors, forceps, clamps, retractors, and other surgical tools.
Common Surgical Instruments Made from Stainless Steel
At Amois Surgical, we produce a wide range of surgical tools for different medical fields. Below are some common instrument categories:
Surgical Scissors Categories
- Operation Scissors – used for cutting tissues during surgery.
- Bandage Scissors – designed for safe cutting of dressings and bandages.
- Delicate Scissors – used for fine and precise tissue cutting.
- Face-Lift Scissors – used in plastic and reconstructive surgeries.
- Gum Scissors – used in dental and oral procedures.
- Gynecological Scissors – designed for women’s surgical procedures.
- Iris Scissors – small, sharp scissors ideal for ophthalmic and delicate surgeries.
- Nasal Scissors – used in ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) surgeries.
- Neurosurgery Scissors – used in brain and spinal procedures.
- Vascular Scissors – specially made for cutting blood vessels.
Other Common Instruments
- Forceps – for grasping and holding tissues.
- Clamps – for controlling blood flow.
- Retractors – for holding tissues aside.
- Needle Holders – for suturing during operations.
- Speculums – for inspection in gynecology or ENT procedures.
- Scalpels – for precise incisions.
Every instrument is crafted with precision and care to ensure smooth performance and patient safety.
Types of Stainless Steel Used in Surgical Instruments
Not all stainless steels are the same. Each type has different properties like hardness, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. Here’s a simple table showing the main stainless steel grades used in surgical instruments manufacturing:
| Type of Stainless Steel | Grade Example | Main Features | Common Uses in Instruments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martensitic Stainless Steel | 410, 420, 440A, 440B, 440C | Hard, strong, can be sharpened, moderate corrosion resistance | Scissors, scalpels, forceps |
| Austenitic Stainless Steel | 304, 316, 316L | High corrosion resistance, non-magnetic, good ductility | Handles, retractors, hollow instruments |
| Precipitation-Hardened Stainless Steel | 17-4 PH | Very strong, corrosion resistant, good for precision tools | High-precision instruments |
| Ferritic Stainless Steel | 430 | Good corrosion resistance, cost-effective | Non-cutting parts, handles |
| Duplex Stainless Steel | 2205 | Combines strength and corrosion resistance | Specialized surgical equipment |
