| As microsurgical
techniques become more sophisticated, greater demands are made on the
instruments to complement the skill of the surgeon. The MICRA range of
titanium microsurgical instruments has been developed by surgeons in
association with specialist technicians from appropriate engineering
disciplines. Absolute precision, high strength, durability and light
weight are the prerequisites. Total quality of manufacture is the
objective.
MICRA has pioneered the use of titanium as the most effective
material for microsurgical instruments. It is only two-thirds the weight
of stainless steel, yet is harder and stronger. It is non-toxic,
non-corrosive and non-magnetic and can be sterilized by all known
techniques.
MICRA titanium instruments feature tungsten carbide coated tips. The
surface comprises smoothly rounded particles, slightly uneven and very
hard. This provides a firm interlocking grip for optimum security when
undertaking delicate surgical techniques, even when a viscous medium is
being used. Forceps with coated tips may be used with confidence to hold
delicate tissue with minimal trauma.
Diamond blades have been developed to provide surgeons with the means
to divide tissue with microscopic precision while causing minimal trauma
to surrounding tissue. The atomic lattice of a diamond is the strongest
known, allowing cutting edges to be polished to the finest tolerances
possible – at least 30 times sharper than the best steel edges.
All MICRA titanium instruments are anodized in a distinctive
non-glare blue finish. The confidence with which they can be
manipulated, combined with their lightweight, contributes significantly
to reduced fatigue for the surgeon during extended procedures.
Rigorous quality control, innovative design, and a continual product
development program gives MICRA titanuim microsurgical instruments the
competitive edge. |
