Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
CONT

Scalpel blades are made of hardened and tempered steel, stainless steel, or high-carbon steel. Titanium blades are available for surgical procedures performed with MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] guidance. Scalpel blades are also made with zirconium nitride-coated edges to improve sharpness and edge retention.... Scalpels consist of re-useable handles and disposable blades. Like sutures, scalpel blades come in many sizes and shapes... The choice of scalpel blade is based on the surgical procedure.

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
CONT

La lame de bistouri n'est pas choisie au hasard par le chirurgien. Celui-ci la sélectionne en fonction de l'incision qu'il va pratiquer. La lame peut ainsi être de forme droite, recourbée, arrondie, en faucille ou encore similaire à une feuille. Selon leur aspect, leur finalité ne sera donc pas la même. Les différents modèles sont nommés par un numéro [...]

OBS

lame de scalpel : Selon certains auteurs, la désignation «scalpel» est un anglicisme lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour désigner un instrument chirurgical et devrait être réservée à l'instrument utilisé pour effectuer des dissections en laboratoire.

CONT

Confirm the austenitic steel test by dissolving 10 grams of cupric chloride ... in 100 cubic centimeters of HCL [hydrochloric acid] and placing a drop of the solution on a fresh spot. After 2 minutes, add three or four drops of distilled water to the drop of HCL solution and dry the surface. The appearance of a brown spot identifies the metal as an austenitic steel.

OBS

Austenitic steels [are] steels containing high percentages of certain alloying elements such as manganese and nickel which are austenitic at room temperature and cannot be hardened by normal heat-treatment but do work harden. They are also non-magnetic. Typical examples of austenitic steels include the 18/8 stainless steels and 14% manganese steel.
