A typically non-dedicated collection of various surgical instruments, sometimes with dressings and/or other materials, but that does not contain pharmaceuticals, intended to be used during: 1) open abdominal surgery; 2) a range of open surgical procedures across multiple clinical specialties (non-dedicated); 3) non-orthopaedic trauma surgery; 4) minor dermatological surgery; or 5) cosmetic surgery below the head. As a kit that includes procedural devices, it is neither dedicated to surgical scrubbing, surgical patient preparation, nor anaesthesia, and is not a dedicated biopsy kit. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to grasp a suture needle when pushing/pulling the needle and attached suture through tissue during suturing. It is typically made of metal and has short serrated jaws at the distal end to provide better grip of the needle. It is available in a wide variety of sizes and designs, such as: 1) a self-retaining, scissors-like design with ring handles at the proximal end; 2) a tweezers-like design with bowed, hinged handles that are operated by squeezing them together; and 3) a heavy-duty pincer-like design. Some types may utilize inserts made of hard materials (e.g., carbide) and include scissor blades. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, manual, surgical instrument used to cut tissue during ear/nose/throat (ENT) or plastic surgery in or on the nose and its associated structures. It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in various designs and sizes, usually having slender, pointed blades set at an angle to the handles. Some types can have carbide inserts along the cutting edges. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument with a surface(s) of coarse and/or fine grooves or teeth designed to scrape and smooth the surface of bone during a surgical procedure. The device is typically a one-piece instrument with grooves/teeth along all or part of its working end(s). It is available in a variety of sizes and working end designs, including straight and curved ends and often double-ended with a central handle. It is not dedicated for use at a specific anatomy (e.g., sinus, ear) and it is made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, titanium (Ti)]. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument typically used in orthopaedic or neurological surgery for cutting bone through a sawing action performed by the operator. It typically consists of an exchangeable, flexible, wire-like blade with a handle at each end of the blade. The handles can be easily unhooked to permit entry of the blade into a narrow opening, e.g., holes drilled in the top of the skull through which the flexible blade is fed for sawing of the skull prior to removal of the top section. This device is commonly known as a Gigli saw. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument with sharp, scoop-shaped jaws designed for cutting tough tissues (intervertebral disk) or bone, through a cutting/biting action, during open spinal surgery (e.g., laminectomy, discectomy). It is typically made of metal and designed to withstand the forces required to bite over tough tissue. It is not intended for endoscopic access. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, non-self-retaining surgical instrument intended to be used to separate/draw aside the margins of a wound/incision to allow access to tissues/organs during open A hand-held manual surgical instrument with sharp, scoop-shaped jaws designed for cutting tough tissues (intervertebral disk) or bone, through a cutting/biting action, during open spinal surgery (e.g., laminectomy, discectomy).

A hand-held, shaft-like, manual surgical instrument designed for hooking and applying traction to specific soft-tissues of interest (e.g., skin, vessel, organ, and/or duct), to facilitate surgical intervention; it is not dedicated to separating or drawing aside the margins of a surgical wound/incision (i.e., not a blade-style retractor). The device includes a handle and tapers towards the distal end to form a slender hook/parallel hooks. This is a reusable device.
