hard steel used for producing sharp cutting edges 400 series stainless steel scissors, osteotomes, chisels, rongeurs, forceps, hemostats, and needle holders Instruments produced using 400 series steel: 00:22 01:28 high corrosion resistance 300 series stainless steel offers HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE but doesn't offer the hardness properties of 400 series, making it more workable and malleable. retractors, cannulas, rib-spreaders, and suction devices Instruments produced using 300 series steel: austenitic stainless steel The softer 300 series steel is referred to as AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL lightweight instruments & non-magnetic Titanium is used to produce LIGHTWEIGHT INSTRUMENTS that are extremely corrosion resistant and NON-MAGNETIC malleable malleable Silver and copper are used because of their MALLEABLE Properties. stainless steel The most common raw material used to produce surgical instruments is STAINLESS STEEL. stain, spot, & rust. Stainless steel does STAIN,SPOTS_,and RUST. develop the forging The first step of making a surgical instrument from stainless steel raw material is to DEVELOP THE FORGING. stamp of the rough outline // heated bar of stainless steel The forging is a STAMP OF THE ROUGH OUTLINE of an instrument and is made from a HEATED BAR OF STAINLESS STEEL ________________. Japan, Pakistan, France and Sweden Most high quality forging come from mills in Germany, but forgings also come from JAPAN, PAKISTAN, FRANCE & SWEDEN 00:02 01:28 grind and mill After the creation of the forging, the next step is to GRIND AND MILL the forging. presses, lathes, CNC milling machines and drop hammers Machines used in an instrument manufacturing environment: PRESSES,LATHES, CNC MILLING MACHINES AND DROP HAMMERS 1500 and hardness The final heating procedure in instrument manufacturing heats the instrument to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (higher or lower depending on the instrument) and then cooled in a controlled fashion. This is what gives the instrument with its HARDNESS. nitric acid // outside layer // chromium oxide nitric acid // outside layer // chromium oxide Passivization uses NITRIC ACID to remove all the iron content still found on the OUTSIDE LAYER of the instrument. The removal of this iron helps to build a protective outside layer of CHROMIUM OXIDE. acid-based // the company, the part number and the country of origin. Etching is an ACID BASE chemical procedure that employs stencils that apply COMPANY NAME AND PART NUMBER, and the COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. six weeks A typical manufacturing cycle from forging to finished instrument usually takes up to SIX WEEKS. Malaysia, Hungary, Poland and Pakistan Although most surgical grade instruments are made in Germany using German stainless steel, some are now manufactured in MALAYSIA, HUNGARY, POLAND and PAKISTAN. matte or satin Most surgical grade instruments are now produced with a MATTE or SATIN finish. disposable or semi-disposable Pakistan instruments are manufactured to be DISPOSABLE or SEMI-DISPOSABLE. shiny The majority of Pakistan-made instruments have a SHINY finish. rusts Pakistan-made instruments using Pakistan-made stainless steel RUSTS very quickly. American Iron and Steel Institute has identified various stainless steel formulas and classified them AISI American Society of Testing and Materials sets the standard for metal material ASTM austenitic and highly corrosion A stainless steel that cannot be heat-hardened is AUSTENITIC_. Stainless steel that falls into this category is 300 series stainless steel, which is HIGHLY CORROSION resistant. martensitic and nickel A stainless steel that can be heat-hardened is MARTENSITIC _. Stainless steel that falls into this category is 400 series stainless steel, which is subject to corrosion due to lack of NICKEL. a method and scale used to measure the hardness of metals Rockwall Scale stainless steel STAINLESS STEEL is the most popular used metal in the manufacturing of surgical instruments. It stains and rusts. 304 stainless 304 STAINLESS is used to make bowls and basins. 316 LVM Stainless 316 LVM STAINLESS is used to make implantable devices such as pins, plates and screws. 420 Stainless Pakistan-made and disposable quality instruments are made of this type of stainless steel: sterling silver STERLING SILVER is used to make probes and tracheostomy tubes. titanium TITANIUM is a very strong and non-magnetic, lightweight metal used for micro surgical instruments. This metal is identified by its blue color and is stronger and lighter than stainless steel.
