Surgical Instruments for Hospitals, Clinics and Outpatient Surgery

At VUBU-MEDICAL you can order surgical instruments in certified medical quality online. We supply hospitals, medical practices and surgical centers with precision instruments made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. All instruments are CE-marked, autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization cycles in daily clinical use.

The portfolio includes basic and specialized instruments for diagnostics, dissection, hemostasis and suturing in more than 30,000 variants for human and veterinary medicine.

Instrument Groups Overview

  • Diagnostics: reflex hammers, stethoscopes and examination instruments
  • Cutting & Dissection: surgical scissors, scalpels & blades and bone saws
  • Grasping & Holding: forceps and tweezers
  • Clamping & Hemostasis: artery and vessel clamps
  • Suturing instruments: needle holders (also with tungsten carbide inserts) and accessories
  • Exposure: retractors
  • Probing & Puncture: probes, cannulas and trocars
  • Specialized instruments: urological and gynecological instruments

Fields of Application

Surgical instruments are used for cutting, grasping, holding, spreading, puncturing and suturing tissue. Shape, length and jaw profile vary depending on specialty and surgical depth.

  • General and abdominal surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Emergency medicine
  • Diagnostics
  • Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery
  • ENT
  • Neurosurgery
  • Gynecology and urology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Orthopedics
  • Veterinary medicine

Material, Quality and Standards

All instruments are manufactured from hardened medical stainless steel and comply with DIN ISO 13485 and European medical device regulations. Each instrument is inspected before shipping for functionality, alignment and surface quality.

  • corrosion resistant
  • autoclavable
  • sterilization resistant
  • serviceable and resharpenable

Choosing the Right Instrument

The selection depends on tissue type and procedure. Important criteria include:

  • jaw serration
  • straight or curved design
  • atraumatic or gripping structure
  • tungsten carbide inserts in needle holders

General Information About Surgical Instruments

Surgical instruments are precision tools designed to perform specific actions during medical procedures such as cutting, grasping, clamping, retracting or suturing tissue. Modern instruments are manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, autoclavable and optimized for repeated clinical use.

In medical terminology, instruments are usually named according to:

  • their function (e.g. scalpel, needle holder)
  • the surgeon who introduced the design (e.g. Kocher forceps)
  • the surgical procedure they are used for

Classification of Surgical Instruments

Depending on their purpose, surgical instruments are divided into functional groups:

  • Cutting instruments – scalpels and scissors
  • Grasping instruments – forceps and clamps
  • Hemostatic instruments – artery forceps
  • Retracting instruments – retractors and hooks
  • Suturing instruments – needle holders and needles
  • Puncture instruments – trocars and cannulas
  • Measuring and diagnostic instruments

A key distinction in modern surgery is the level of tissue trauma. Atraumatic and minimally invasive instruments are designed to reduce tissue damage and improve patient recovery.

Diagnostic Instruments

Diagnostic tools support the clinical examination of patients. Typical examples include reflex hammers, stethoscopes, otoscopes and measuring instruments for functional testing.

Clamps and Hemostatic Forceps

Surgical clamps temporarily occlude vessels or hold tissue securely during procedures. Different jaw geometries allow atraumatic fixation and controlled pressure distribution.

Examples include towel forceps, artery forceps and ligature clamps for safe hemostasis.

Needle Holders and Suturing Instruments

Needle holders ensure controlled needle guidance during suturing. Versions with tungsten carbide inserts increase grip durability and precision, especially for synthetic suture material and microsurgical procedures.

Forceps and Tweezers

Surgical forceps are divided into toothed tissue forceps and atraumatic dressing forceps. They allow safe grasping of tissue, sutures or dressing material with minimal trauma.

An example is the anatomical dressing forceps used for delicate structures.

Puncture Instruments and Cannulas

Puncture instruments create controlled access to body cavities. They include biopsy cannulas, trocars and suction tubes for fluid evacuation.

Specialized instruments can be found in plastic surgery instruments and liposuction cannulas.

Surgical Scissors

Operating scissors are used for cutting materials and tissue, while dissecting scissors allow precise tissue preparation.

Specialized variants include eye and iris scissors for microsurgical procedures.

Scalpels and Blades

Scalpels provide precise incisions with different blade geometries depending on tissue type.

Scalpels and blades are available as reusable handles with disposable sterile blades.

Probes and Exploratory Instruments

Probes are used to examine wound channels, fistulas and cavities and to detect foreign bodies.

Retractors

Retractors hold tissue apart to provide visibility in the surgical field. Self-retaining retractors maintain the operative opening without manual assistance.
