Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Forceps with a catch for locking the blades, used for seizing the end of a blood vessel to control hemorrhage.

OBS

The main purpose [of hemostatic forceps] is to achieve hemostasis (control of the flow of blood). After a hemostat has been secured to a blood vessel, generally either a suture is tied around the vessel or electrocautery is applied to the end of the vessel to achieve final hemostasis.

OBS

Dissecting hemostatic forceps clamp onto blood vessels and control bleeding. They... tend to be long and slender in order to get to blood vessels easily and with a minimum of trauma. [They] resemble scissors and have locking mechanisms that maintain a firm clamp on blood vessels, holding them in place.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
DEF

Pince à crans d'arrêt servant à l'hémostase.

OBS

Le premier usage de la pince à hémostase est de permettre par une préhension fine la ligature d'un vaisseau ou sa coagulation par le bistouri électrique. Elle est aussi un bon complément dans le repérage et la mise en tension des tissus au cours de la dissection, sur une aponévrose, un sac herniaire, une vaginale d'hydrocèle. Enfin, [elle sert de] pince repère sur les fils passés et en attente [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Heavy-duty surgical scissors with narrowed but blunt pointed blades, which may be straight or curved.

OBS

Mayo scissors are heavier than Metzenbaum scissors due to the fact that they serve a different purpose. Mayo scissors are used for cutting fascia and sutures which require a stronger, heavier scissor.

OBS

Mayo dissecting scissors [are used] for controlled, precise dissection with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. [Their] slightly blunt tips assure precise, yet safe dissection.

OBS

Proper name : Mayo dissecting scissors... Blades : straight or curved. Tip : blunt scissors. Uses : Smooth cutting and dissections without tearing of tissue and suture. The 5 1/2 inch size may be used to cut suture while the large sizes may be preferred for heavier tissue in deep cavities.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
CONT

[Les] ciseaux Mayo [sont des] ciseaux chirurgicaux tout inox [...] dont les 2 pointes sont mousses. Ils s'utilisent pour la découpe de pansements, bandes adhésives, compresses, etc. Ces ciseaux chirurgicaux sont autoclavables.

CONT

De bons ciseaux de Mayo courbes, bien aiguisés, peuvent disséquer correctement lors de la cure de la hernie par exemple.

OBS

Avec l'usage, il arrive que le nom de l'inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors de «ciseaux Mayo» et non plus de «ciseaux de Mayo».

  • Surgical Instruments
OBS

Dissecting scissors are widely used in hospitals and health care units for any surgical procedure. These scissors are made for fine dissection work.... [They] may have curved or straight blades.... The tips of scissors are also used to spread and probe the area of incision. The smaller sizes are used at the surface, the larger sizes deeper in the cavities.

OBS

Used for separating tissues.

OBS

There are many varieties of dissecting scissors, often bearing the name of their inventor : Gorney, Lexer, Lexer-Fino, Lexer-Baby, Littler, Metzenbaum, Metzenbaum Fino dissecting scissors, etc.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
OBS

Instruments designed to cut objects, materials, and/or tissues using two metallic ... blades with sharp edges that slide past each other (i.e., shearing action). The blades are usually attached to handles with the proximal end conformed as a ring to facilitate holding and operation with the fingers; both parts are joined by a swivel pin in the center.

OBS

L'anglais établit une distinction entre «surgical scissors», qui couvrent toute la gamme des ciseaux utilisés en médecine, et «operating scissors», ciseaux utilisés plus spécifiquement pour les chirurgies. Cette distinction ne semble pas exister en français, bien que «ciseaux pour la chirurgie» et «ciseaux à chirurgie» semblent avoir un sens plus restreint que «ciseaux chirurgicaux».
