Why is it important to have the right basic surgical instruments? At Salvador Navarro, we know how important it is to work with the right medical equipment for each type of examination, which is why our company always offers the best brands. We carry first-quality items supplied to us by companies of recognised prestige.
What should a basic surgical instrument set consist of?
A basic surgical instrument set, in addition to comprising several types of general surgical instruments — such as surgical forceps, surgical scissors, and scalpel handles and blades — must be equipped, depending on the type of medical examination, with a full set of clinical materials, medical devices and surgical instruments that are complete and adapted to each type of professional in their field.
“It is necessary that all instruments be proper for the purpose they are to serve, both as regards their size, weight and precision” — Hippocrates.
Instruments must be designed to give the professional the most appropriate surgical manoeuvrability. Surgical instrument alloys are typically made of titanium, stainless steel or other metals. Our company always offers the most suitable and professionally adapted medical equipment. We therefore carry a range of general basic tools of different types, such as:
- Dissecting scissors: These depend on the type and location of the tissue to be cut. They can be large, for tough tissues, angled, with long handles ideal for deep body cavities, and with sharp blades.
- Suture scissors: These have blunt tips to avoid cutting structures near the suture and are also used to prepare suture material.
- Dressing scissors: Used to cut drains and dressings.
- Tissue holding and grasping forceps.
- Tissue forceps.
- Smooth forceps.
- Toothed forceps.
- Allis and Babcock forceps.
- Haemostatic forceps.
- Manual retractor.
- Needle holder.
- Needles.
- Suture material.
Diagnostic Equipment
At Salvador Navarro, we work with the best range of general basic surgical instruments, but our diagnostic equipment is equally outstanding — manufactured and developed in Germany. We work with high-quality medical material from the leading brands in the sector. Among our most complete sets:
Oto-ophthalmoscope sets
These must contain everything needed to carry out fundoscopy and examination of the auditory canal. They come very well equipped and complete, including an ophthalmoscope head, an otoscope head, a full handle and a case for storing the equipment safely and conveniently. All our basic surgical instrument sets also come equipped with high-quality lamps and monitors.
Stethoscope sets
We carry different types: classic, paediatric, cardiology, veterinary and electronic, among others. The electronic stethoscope is the model seeing the greatest growth in use, as it represents a considerable improvement over the traditional stethoscope. It offers a wider frequency response, better sound sensitivity, and volume control with the ability to reduce the level if the sound is too loud or uncomfortable for the human ear.
Veterinary sets
These surgical instruments guarantee extraordinary quality with maximum ease of use and ergonomics. The ideal instrument must be used for each type of examination. Our product range is very broad and offers numerous application possibilities in veterinary clinics and hospitals. All of this with maximum functionality and quality.
Laparoscopy and Endoscopy Equipment
These basic surgical instruments — both the laparoscope and the endoscope — feature a stainless steel design for greater durability. They are of very high quality, using machine-controlled technology. Their modular design makes them safer to use. They are also easy to operate, ensuring optimal surgeon comfort.
At Salvador Navarro you can find all the medical material or basic and general surgical instruments needed for every type of surgical specialty, as well as the right furniture for each professional sector. We also work with dental, gynaecological, trauma, neurosurgical and plastic surgery instruments and medical devices, among others.
