Luer forceps, also known as Luer pliers, are a medical instrument used to clamp blood vessels and nerves during surgical procedures. They were developed in 1854 by the German surgeon Karl Luer and are still widely used in medicine.
Luer lock pliers consist of two parts: a handle and a working part. The handle is usually shaped like a pistol or pistol with a trigger and is used to grip the working tool. The working part consists of two jaws that close around the object that needs to be squeezed. Sponges can be made of stainless steel or other durable materials.
When using Luer lock locks, it is important to follow certain rules. Before starting the operation, you must check that the jaws are tightly closed and have no gaps. Then you need to press the jaws against the object that needs to be pinched and hold them in this position until the desired degree of pinching is achieved. After this, you need to carefully release the jaws and check that the object is clamped properly.
The advantages of Luer forceps are their high precision and effectiveness in clamping blood vessels and nerves. They are also easy to use and allow you to perform operations quickly and safely. However, like any other medical instrument, Luer locks can cause serious complications if used incorrectly or by untrained personnel. Therefore, it is important to be trained and certified in surgery and to use only quality instruments.
