Stomach Operation Set, 60 Pieces

What a stomach operation instrument set is

A stomach operation instrument set is the open tray for operations on the stomach: partial and total gastrectomy, gastrotomy, gastroenterostomy and the repair of a perforated ulcer through an upper midline incision. This 60 piece configuration, catalogued by Adas Instruments as the Stomach Operation Set, carries the general groups every abdominal case needs, scissors, artery forceps, retractors, dressing and tissue forceps, needle holders, plus the gastric specials: a Lane stomach clamp for the resection line, Kocher atraumatic intestinal clamps that hold bowel without bruising the wall, and Deschamps, Payr and König ligature carriers for tying vessels deep in the abdomen.

Every piece is forged from German medical-grade stainless steel in Sialkot and ships in a stainless steel instrument box that goes straight into a steam autoclave.

Why buyers pick the 60 piece configuration

Open and laparoscopic gastric surgery use different trays; this is the open set. Importers and theatre staff also search for it as a stomach operation instrument set, the wording older catalogues use, and both names describe the same box.

What separates working stomach surgery instruments from a catalogue list is the multiples: 16 Ochsner-Kocher artery forceps in three sizes so a wet field never waits for a clean clamp, 4 Allis forceps, 4 Foerster sponge forceps, duplicate Metzenbaum scissors and Mayo-Hegar needle holders, and a six piece ligature group of Deschamps needles and König and Payr conductors for pedicles the fingers cannot reach. With 30 patterns in one order, a hospital equips its gastric theatre without buying thirty separate line items.

Care and reprocessing

Rinse instruments before blood dries, and clean every ring instrument with the ratchet open. Pay attention to the atraumatic jaws: the fine serrations of the De Bakey forceps and the Kocher intestinal clamps trap protein, and a brush pass along the jaw lines keeps them gripping without trauma. Check the eye of each Deschamps needle and König conductor for suture fragments, and never wash German medical-grade stainless steel in the same bath as carbon steel items. Dry the set fully before the box closes, and count the pieces against the contents list at every cycle; a 60 piece set that leaves the sterile store with 59 is a theatre incident waiting to happen.

Frequently asked questions

What instruments are used in stomach surgery?

Open stomach surgery instruments fall into five groups. Scalpels and scissors open the abdomen and dissect, Ochsner-Kocher and Mikulicz forceps control bleeding and hold the peritoneum, Langenbeck and Fritsch retractors with the Haberer spatula give exposure under the ribs, the gastric group of Lane stomach clamp and Kocher atraumatic intestinal clamps holds stomach and bowel during resection and anastomosis, and Mayo-Hegar needle holders with ligature carriers close vessels and wound. This set carries all five groups in one box.

Is this set for open or laparoscopic gastric surgery?

Open surgery only. The gastrectomy instruments in this tray, clamps, retractors and ligature carriers in standard lengths, are made for a laparotomy approach through an open incision. Laparoscopic and bariatric stapling work uses a different instrument system that this set does not include.

What are the Lane stomach clamp and Kocher intestinal clamps for?

The 30 cm Lane stomach clamp holds the stomach along the intended resection line and gives the surgeon a firm, straight edge to cut and sew against. The Kocher atraumatic intestinal clamp forceps, one 25 cm and two 22 cm, occlude bowel temporarily during anastomosis; their long, springy jaws with fine serrations stop spillage without crushing the intestinal wall.

Can the contents be matched to a hospital tender specification?

Yes. Patterns, sizes and quantities are adjusted line by line to the tender document before production, and the quotation follows the same numbering as the purchaser specification sheet, which makes bid evaluation faster.

Can single instruments from the set be bought separately?

Yes. Most patterns in the contents list are also sold as single instruments, so a worn forceps or a dropped scissor is replaced without buying a new set. The related products below cover the most requested single pieces.
