These instruments are designed to perform specific functions, such as cutting, dissecting, grasping, or holding tissue, and are made of high-quality materials that are safe and durable for repeated use. Examples of surgical instruments include forceps, scalpels, retractors, clamps, scissors, and needle holders, while dental instruments may include probes, excavators, scalers, and mirrors, among others. These instruments are essential for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and positive patient outcomes in a variety of medical settings.
