Disposable Instruments

Sterile single-use instruments are used once and then discarded. That removes cleaning, packing, sterilisation and documentation of reprocessing, and a fresh instrument is ready for every patient. This is especially useful where certain instruments are needed only occasionally or there is no in-house reprocessing: GP and dermatology practices, ambulance services, community care and hospitals.

The range comprises three individually sterile-packed instruments: a ring curette with a 4 mm stainless-steel ring and PP handle for dermatological procedures, 130 mm anatomical forceps in polystyrene for wound care and dressing changes, and a scalpel with a stainless-steel blade, plastic handle and safety cap.

Typical applications

• Removing warts, keratoses and skin lesions with the single-use curette
• Dressing changes and wound care with the plastic forceps
• Small incisions and excisions with the single-use scalpel
• Practices without their own instrument reprocessing

What to look for when buying

With single-use instruments, weigh the effort of reprocessing and storage against how often the procedure is carried out. For occasional use, a sterile-packed disposable instrument is often the simpler solution.

Pack sizes vary considerably: scalpels come 10 to a box, curettes 20 to a box with a minimum of 50, forceps 100 to a box. According to the product data, the scalpel and curette are CE marked. Please mention blade shape or other sizes in your enquiry.
