The use of Disposable biopsy punches has become routine in a variety of industries, from healthcare to forensic science and manufacturing. These small but crucial instruments offer many benefits, ranging from convenience and sterility to cost-effectiveness and reliability.

Disposable biopsy punches are often preferred over reusable biopsy punches because of their convenience and cost-effectiveness. Reusable punches require sterilization between uses, which takes time and resources. Disposable punches streamline your workflow efficiency and enable you to focus your efforts on your results. For high-volume procedures, this can be critical.

Protect the investment you have made in surgical instruments and improve the outcomes of your surgeries by regularly inspecting your surgical scissors. Regular inspections ensure that your surgical scissors are in optimal working condition, allowing you to promptly identify and address common issues like dullness, misalignment, or damage. Inspections also help mitigate risks associated with the use of defective or damaged surgical scissors and promotes surgical safety, reducing the likelihood of adverse outcomes. By addressing minor issues early on and following regular cleaning, sterilization, and storage protocols, you can extend the usable lifespan of your surgical instruments, reducing the need for frequent replacements and the associated costs.

The WPSS01 skin stapler is an affordable, reliable solution for veterinary wound closures. A skin stapler is designed for the efficient closure of surgical incisions or wounds by applying surgical staples to the skin, reducing surgery time and time under anesthesia. Each disposable skin staple cassette contains at least thirty-five (35) 316L stainless steel staples.

Each reusable skin stapler handle is provided sterile with one disposable staple cassette already loaded into the handle. Discard the disposable staple cassette after the procedure. The reusable handle may be cleaned and resterilized (autoclave, EO) for subsequent procedures and will effectively deploy at least twenty (20) disposable staple cassettes and withstand at least twenty (20) autoclave cycles.

Surgical forceps are available in several different grades, including disposable, standard stainless steel, German steel, Swiss made, and titanium. Your choice of instrument grade will depend on your requirements and your budget. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed decision.

Reducing hand fatigue while using surgical scissors is important, not only for your comfort, but also to maintain the precision of your work. Here are some tips to help reduce strain and minimize hand fatigue.

Metzenbaum and Mayo scissors are both types of surgical scissors, and while they may look similar at first glance, they serve different purposes. Let’s look at the differences between the two scissors styles.

Surgical forceps are available in several different grades, including disposable, standard stainless steel, German steel, Swiss made, and titanium. Your choice of instrument grade will depend on your requirements and your budget. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed decision.

Surgical forceps and surgical tweezers are handheld surgical instruments for grasping or clamping, but they serve different purposes and have distinct features. While both are used for manipulating small objects, forceps are typically used in medical and research environments, and tweezers have a broader use in hobbies, daily routine tasks, and mechanical applications. Here we will explore some of the differences between the two, including their construction and uses.

Dumont is a well-known brand that specializes in the production of high-quality precision forceps and tweezers for surgical and scientific use, as well as for electronics, jewelry, and other  applications. Dumont surgical instruments, particularly Dumont tweezers, are highly regarded for their precision, craftsmanship, and durability.

Transepithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) is a widely used technique in the life sciences fields and therapeutic development. It measures the electrical resistance across a cell monolayer, providing information about the integrity and functionality of epithelial barriers. TEER has proven to be a valuable tool in various fields, including drug absorption studies, tissue engineering, and disease modeling. This article aims to explore the benefits of TEER and its applications in different research areas.

EVOM™ Auto High Throughput (HTS) Transepithiel Electrical Resistance (TEER) Measurement System with 24 and 96 transwell capability can switch between different 24 and 96 HTS well plates by using matching electrode arrays and plate positioners. Here we demonstrate how to switch to a 24 transwell plate after using a 96 transwell plate. 

Hemostatic forceps, also called ring forceps or hemostats, are common surgical instruments used in medical, veterinary, and laboratory settings to control bleeding during procedures. Hemostats are used to clamp blood vessels, tissues, or other small structures, effectively minimizing blood flow during surgical procedures. Hemostats prevent excessive bleeding for the subject and offer a clear view of the surgical site for the operator. Here’s a brief introduction to the features and uses of hemostatic forceps in a laboratory setting.

Cleaning laboratory syringes helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate dosing. You should always adhere to the protocols of your institution and the manufacturer of your syringe. Specific cleaning requirements may vary based on the intended use of the syringe, its material composition , and the sample fluid introduced. Here is a typical protocol for cleaning a laboratory syringe.

Laboratory forceps are surgical instruments that come in a variety of types. Here’s a brief overview to help you choose a set of forceps for your application. Surgical forceps can be divided into two broad categories, thumb forceps (also called tweezers) and hemostatic forceps. Tweezers can be further divided into dressing forceps and tissue forceps.
