Quality of Surgical Instruments [PDF]

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2006
INTRODUCTION Many surgeons will have encountered the scissors that would not cut, and the artery clip that comes off in a deep difficult location, but it would be reasonable to assume that new instruments should be of assured quality. This study reports the surprising findings of a local quality control exercise for new instruments supplied to a single
