Usage
- Before use, inspect the outer sterile pack; do not use if the packaging is torn, punctured, wet or otherwise compromised.
- Verify product code, expiry date and integrity of the sterile seal according to local protocols.
- Open the pack using aseptic technique to present the contents on a sterile field.
- Using appropriate sterile gloves and aseptic technique, remove the Halsey needle holder, iris scissors and forceps as required.
- Use the Halsey needle holder to grasp and drive extremely fine sutures as per standard clinical technique.
- Use the iris stitch scissors for precise cutting of sutures and fine materials.
- Use toothed and non-toothed iris forceps to handle tissue and assist accurate suture placement, selecting the instrument appropriate to the tissue type.
- After completing the procedure, discard all instruments and packaging as clinical waste in accordance with local infection prevention and waste management policies.
- Do not clean, disinfect, re-sterilise or reuse any component; the pack and all instruments are strictly single use.
Contraindications
- Do not use if the sterile barrier (packaging) is damaged, open or shows evidence of compromised sterility.
- Do not reuse or reprocess any component of the pack; reuse may increase infection risk and lead to instrument damage or malfunction.
- Not intended for procedures requiring heavy-duty instruments or suturing of large/deep structures beyond the design of fine suture instruments.
- Do not use in patients or procedures where the use of metal instruments of this type is clinically contraindicated.
- Do not use beyond the stated expiry date on the packaging.
- Do not use if any instrument appears bent, corroded, misaligned, blunt or otherwise defective upon visual inspection.
Adverse Effects
- Potential tissue trauma, bruising or tearing if instruments are used with excessive force or incorrect technique.
- Insufficient haemostasis or poor suture control if instruments are used outside their intended application or on unsuitable tissues.
- Increased risk of infection if sterility is compromised or if aseptic technique is not followed.
- Possible user injury (e.g. needle stick, cuts or pinch injuries) if safe sharps and instrument handling procedures are not observed.
- Rare risk of mechanical failure (e.g. joint loosening or misalignment) leading to reduced performance or loss of grip during use.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of excessive heat or moisture.
- Keep in original packaging until immediately before use to maintain sterility.
- Avoid crushing, bending or stacking heavy items on top of packs so as not to damage the sterile barrier system.
- Follow any additional storage recommendations provided on the product packaging or by the manufacturer.
- Ensure appropriate stock rotation to use older stock before newer stock, observing expiry dates.
Duration
Not applicable (used for the duration of a single suturing procedure only)
