The instruments in the operating room include loop forceps, tissue scissors, sponge forceps, endoscopes, and hemostatic forceps.

1. Ring forceps

The ring forceps can be extended directly to the bottom of the uterus. And because the ring-removing forceps have round heads and are blunt and smooth, they are less likely to cause uterine perforation and damage to organs. The top of the ring-removing forceps is about 2cm long and has teeth, which is convenient for clamping the IUD. It is especially suitable for removing broken, residual, and partially embedded IUDs. Especially under hysteroscopic positioning, ring removal with forceps has a short operation time and is not easy to damage the endometrium; it is also not easy to cause the ring wire to break.

2. Tissue scissors

Tissue scissors are mostly curved scissors, which are sharp and fine and used to dissect, cut or separate tissue. Usually, straight scissors are used for superficial surgeries and curved scissors are used for deep surgeries. Ligature scissors are mostly straight cuts and are further divided into Ligature Scissors and Ligature Scissors. The former is used to cut sutures, dressings, drainage tubes, etc., while the latter is used to remove sutures.

3. Sponge forceps

Sponge forceps are also called object-holding forceps. It is divided into two types: toothed and non-toothed. The toothed is mainly used to hold and transfer sterilized instruments, sutures, needles, dressings, drainage tubes, etc. It is also used to clamp gauze dipped in disinfectant to disinfect the skin in the surgical field, or to wipe blood deep in the surgical field.

The toothless pattern is used to hold organs and assist in exposure. In dressing rooms and operating rooms, sterile forceps are often placed in sterilized large-mouth measuring cups or large-mouth bottles, which contain knife and scissor medicine solutions.

4. Endoscope

An endoscope consists of a flexible part, a light source and a set of lenses. It enters the human body through the natural orifices of the human body or through small surgical incisions. When used, the endoscope is introduced into the pre-examined organ, and changes in the relevant parts can be directly observed. The quality of the image directly affects the use of endoscopes and also marks the development level of endoscope technology.

5. Hemostatic forceps

Hemostatic forceps achieve blood occlusion by clamping blood vessels. It is a surgical instrument used to rescue patients with bleeding, take hemostatic drugs, and use hemostatic forceps to clamp the blood vessels and arteries to prevent blood from flowing out.

The principle of use of hemostatic forceps is to clamp blood vessels or fur like clamps, but they are sterilized. Hemostatic forceps can be divided into large, small, toothed, toothless, straight and curved. Different types of hemostatic forceps are selected according to different operating parts. Teeth next to the hemostat handle help keep the hemostat secure when clamping an object and prevent it from falling out.
