• Liver Size Can Be Measured.
• It can be used as a deaf aid.

pressure.
• It can determine lung sounds.
• It can detect heart sounds.
• Bowel sounds can be measured.
• It can be used to check

• To remove sterilized
instruments from boilers
and formalin cabinets.

7. ARTERY FORCEP

ring grips, sharp edges, and a
ratcheted handle. They may
also be used to snatch fascia
and ligaments, including the
breast and bowel tissue

15. PROCTOSCOPE
• A proctoscopy is a
procedure to examine
the insides of the rectum
and the anus. A
proctoscope is a hollow
tube, usually with a tiny
light at the end, that can
also be used to take
tissue samples for
biopsies as a cancer
screening tool.

16. SINUS FORCEP
• Sinus Forceps are widely
used by doctors to manipulate
tissues and occlude blood
vessels. With the blade
changed by blunted grips,
these forceps resembles a pair
of scissors. In both human
and veterinary, these can be
sterilized and used for
operations. Moreover, these
forceps may be straight or
curved.

17. OPTHALMOSCOPE
• An ophthalmoscope is about
the size of a flashlight. It has a
light and different small lenses
that allow the provider to view
the back of the eyeball.

18. TOWEL CLIP
• The primary use of
towel clips is to hold
drapes in place, to keep
the operating field
exposed.

19. NASAL SPECULUM
• Nasal specula allow for the
safe examination of the
nose.
• Nasal specula are used in a
range of outpatient
procedures, such
as anterior rhinoscopy,
septal surgeries and the
removal of foreign bodies
and polyps.

20. OTOSCOPE
• An otoscope is a tool
which shines a beam of
light to help visualize
and examine the
condition of the ear
canal and eardrum.

21. BABCOCK FORCEP
• Babcock Forceps are
finger ring, ratcheted,
non-perforating forceps
used to grasp delicate
tissue. They are
frequently used with
intestinal and
laparotomy procedures.

22. MUCOUS EXTRACTOR
• A mucous extractor is used
with a suction machine to
maintain an airway by
removing secretions from
the mouth, throat, or lungs.
It is particularly important
in neurological diseases
where the ability to cough
or swallow is impaired.

23. HEAD MIRROR
• A head mirror is
mostly used for
examination of the
ear, nose and throat.
It comprises a
circular concave
mirror, with a small
hole in the middle,
and is attached to a
headband.

24. MOUTH GAG
• Mouth Gags are devices
used to hold the mouth
open. In medicine, they
were origianlly used for
procedures and surgery in
the mouth and throat, or
for opening the mouths of
patients who could not do
so themselves.

25. TONGUE DIPRESSOR
• They are 'straight' or 'curve'
(in shape), metal or plastic,
disposable or reusable
instruments used
for depressing the tongue to
examine the throat and oral
cavity. They are also used for
spatula test in case of
suspected tetanus, to examine
the gag reflex and to perform
posterior rhinoscopy.

26. SCCISSOR
• Used for cutting tissue, suture,
or for dissection. Scissors can
be straight or curved, and
may be used for cutting
heavy or finer structures.
Also known as non- locking
forceps, grasping forceps,
thumb forceps, or pick-ups.
Used for grasping tissue or
objects.

kidney shaped
basin, widely used in
surgical procedures for
carrying dressing,
bandages, small

drain if you have an
obstruction in the
tube that carries
urine out of your
bladder (urethra).

29. PULSE OXIMETER
• A pulse oximeter is a device
that is usually placed on a
fingertip. It uses light beams to
estimate the oxygen saturation
of the blood and the pulse rate.
Oxygen saturation gives
information about the amount
of oxygen carried in the blood.

30. GLUCOMETER
• A gluco meter, also
known as a glucose
meter or blood sugar
meter is medical
equipment used to
measure sugar levels

investigations.

33. ET TUBE
• The endotracheal tube is a
tube constructed of
polyvinyl chloride that is
placed between the vocal
cords through the trachea.
It serves to provide
oxygen and inhaled gases
to the lungs and protects
the lungs from
contamination, such as
gastric contents or blood.

34. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE

venflon, is a small
flexible plastic tube
inserted into a vein. The
cannula is to give you
medication or fluids that
you are unable to take by
mouth or that need to
enter your blood stream
directly.

37. WILLIAMS AIRWAY
• An oropharyngeal airway
(also known as an oral
airway, or Guedel pattern
airway) is a medical device
called an airway adjunct
used in airway
management to maintain or
open a patient's airway. It
does this by preventing the
tongue from covering the
epiglottis, which could
prevent the person from
breathing.

cardiac surgeries for
invasive blood pressure
monitoring and
connection between
syringe infusion pump
