Episiotomy Instrument Set, 9 pieces

This set covers both steps of an episiotomy: the incision and the repair. The Braun-Stadler scissors have blades angled to the side, so the cut can be made away from the midline. The lower blade has a blunt tip to protect the tissue beneath.

For the repair, the set has a Mayo-Hegar needle holder, tissue forceps with 1×2 teeth, and two curved mosquito forceps for small bleeders. Operating scissors cut the sutures. A scalpel handle (No. 4) and a double-ended probe are included, and the Foerster sponge forceps holds swabs. The contents follow the episiotomy sets listed by the Red Cross and UNICEF and by Pakistani instrument makers.

Supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise before use. Blades for the No. 4 handle are not included.
