Usage

  • Visually inspect the outer pack before use; do not use if the packaging is damaged, opened or wet.
  • Check expiry date and product details in line with local protocols.
  • Open the pack using aseptic technique, presenting the sterile field and tray contents without compromising sterility.
  • Using appropriate sterile gloves and aseptic technique, remove the instruments (kilner needle holder, iris scissors and forceps) and consumables as required for suturing.
  • Use the kilner needle holder for holding and driving the suture needle, and the iris stitch scissors for precise cutting of sutures.
  • Use toothed and non-toothed iris forceps to handle tissue and assist accurate placement of sutures as per clinical judgement.
