Thanks to advancements in medical technology, today’s surgeons can achieve incredible results that would have been unimaginable 10 or 15 years ago. Many of these surgeries depend on advanced technology and innovative techniques, as well as basic supplies found in every operating room. Below are just some of the critical products medical device manufacturing companies provide to surgeons around the world.

4 Essential Surgical Supplies

1. Clamps

Surgical clamps prevent bleeding during surgery, but operating rooms also need larger devices to support IV poles, armboards, and other equipment. These clamps are large and strong enough to attach these items directly to the table and many can be opened and closed instantly.

2. IV Start Kits

IV start kits contain everything nurses need to start an intravenous drip, including alcohol pads, a PVP ampule, gloves, and a device for holding the bag. Because nurses don’t have to look for supplies, these kits save valuable time, especially when patients need to start an IV immediately.

3. Equipment Covers

Covering equipment that isn’t being used helps keep the operating room sterile and reduces the risk of infection. Most are made out of high-grade plastic. Some medical device manufacturing companies create custom covers to fit specialized equipment.

4. Compartment Trays

Even relatively simple surgeries require an assortment of scalpels, clamps, retractors, needles, and other tools. Compartment trays keep all of those items organized so nurses can find what the surgeon needs immediately.
