BASIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTSBasic laparotomy instruments are essential to accomplish most types of general surgery. Each instrument can be placed into one of the four following basic categories:Retracting and Occluding InstrumentsCutting and Dissecting InstrumentsClamping and Occluding InstrumentsGrasping and Holding Instruments
Retracting and Exposing Instruments used to hold back or retract organs or tissue to gain exposure to the operative site. They are either "self-retaining" (stay open on their own) or "manual" (held by hand). When identifying retractors, look at the blade, not the handle.
