Title of the article: **Medical instrument: concept, types, role in medicine** _Description:_ To perform complex and complex medical manipulations in the patient’s body, medical equipment is used - instruments that are classified depending on the function performed during the manipulation. Medical instruments are a key tool in medicine, as they allow various operations to be carried out effectively and safely. In this article we will look at the concept of a medical instrument, its types and role in medical practice.

What is a medical instrument? Honey. instruments are technical devices designed for the implementation of preventive procedures, disease therapy, research and other medical operations. One of the main requirements for medical instruments is that they must be made of materials that are resistant to disinfection. As a rule, honey. instruments are kept at room temperature +23°. According to the method of influencing the tissues and fluids of the patient’s body, instrumental groups are distinguished: * Surgical (scalpel, scissors, tweezers, scalpel, etc.); * Obstetrics and gynecology (vaginal dilator, aspirator, etc.); * Otorhinolaryngological instruments; * Dental (dental instruments) and others (veterinary). Honey. The tools are divided into standardized models and made to order. A custom instrument is manufactured from the manufacturer's drawings using technology obtained from consumable manufacturers (such as needle manufacturers). The company has its own production of tools and a range of products. All products undergo two-stage cleaning. This procedure consists of the following steps: * Cleaning the instrument under running water; *Rinse immediately before drying. After this, a step-by-step processing of the instrument material is carried out: chemical sterilization, steam cleaning. This gives positive results, reducing the risk of infection. There is an antiseptic treatment of instruments that is equally effective, but limits shelf life to 3 hours. Types of medical instruments

There are 2 main groups: disposable and reusable medical instruments. In addition to disposable ones, there are several options for reusable medical products:
