Abdominoplasty Surgery Set at New Med Instruments: Tummy Tuck Procedure Made Easy!

New Med has always been a premium surgical supply store housing a complete range of abdominoplasty surgical tools. We take pride in manufacturing high-functioning body contouring instruments and plastic surgery instrument sets. 


Below is a quick round-up of major instruments included in the abdominoplasty surgery set, precisely: 

Retractors for Tummy Tuck

The surgical field needs to be wide open for better visibility. For this purpose, retractors are used. Here are some retractors crafted for tummy tuck procedures, such as: 

Langenbeck Retractor

Manufacturers craft Langenbeck retractors in a hook-shaped structure. Typically, they assist the surgeons in pulling back the skin. Additionally, they work on the abdominal walls to retract the organs and layers of skin. Due to being minimally invasive, they are ideal for the frail structures of the body. Furthermore, the blades are atraumatic. 


Miller-Senn Retractor 

These hand-held retractors work in close cavities of the body. Surgeons actively manoeuvre them to stretch the layers. Additionally, they are double-ended to keep both sides of the skin stretched and retracted. 


Roux Retractor

Known as the heavy-built retractor, Roux retractors are made extra strong with a defined curve. Both sides actively keep the cavity open for better visibility. Additionally, Roux retractors are by far the most used during tummy tuck procedures. 


Apart from these, the tummy tuck procedure uses the Fritsch Retractor and the Volkman Retractor. Both have a single working end. 


Suction Tools for Abdominoplasty Surgery

Abdominoplasty surgery actively involves suction devices for draining pus and fat. Usually, surgeons use suction diathermies and drains during the procedure. 

Liposuction cannulas

Manufacturers craft cannulas for draining the excess fat. Typically, they are long, hollow tubes which can be inserted into the desired regions. Surgeons make minute incisions to insert them. Once introduced, they remove the excess fat from the buttocks, hips, and abdomen etc. 

Surgical Scissors for Abdominoplasty Surgery

Tummy tuck procedures involve both straight and curved blade scissors to perform abdominoplasty surgery. The former assists in cutting surface-level anatomical structures. While the latter helps cut structures that lie deep in the body. 

Ragnell Scissors

These are specifically crafted as the chief incising plastic surgery tools. Typically, this type is available in different configurations, such as supercut edge, blunt, and sharp blades. Usually, surgeons use them to cut superficial tissues.

Iris Scissors

The wounds are usually incised with the help of iris scissors. Different blade configurations and styles are available. For instance, surgeons can make use of straight and curved blade iris scissors. 

Operating Scissors

Operating scissors are known for their versatile role in tummy tuck procedures. Depending on the task, surgeons either use a blunt or a sharp blade or operating scissors. 


Surgeons might also use Metzenbaum scissors when needed. 

Surgical Forceps for Abdominoplasty Surgery

Healthcare practitioners use surgical forceps to secure a grip on certain medical tools and materials. Below is a quick roundup of major surgical forceps for abdominoplasty surgery. 

Adson Tissue Forceps

Surgeons require Adson tissue forceps for both precise and general holding. They work to secure a grip on different bodily structures and materials. We use tungsten carbide to prevent slippage during long surgical hours. Both firm and loose tissues can be manipulated by them. 

Gillies Forceps

These are efficient grasping tools for precise gripping. Usually, surgeons use them for precise manipulation as they are available in 1-2mm tip size. 

Halsted Mosquito Forceps

Technicians use these as hemostatic clamps. They work to reach the state of hemostasis. Tips are usually serrated to exercise maximum control. 


There are still others, such as Foerster sponge-holding forceps for holding the sponges during the procedure. They work to absorb blood and pus. 

Needle Holders for Abdominoplasty Surgery

During suturing, plastic surgeons need specialised needle holders to drive the needles. There is a vast variety of needle holders to actively manipulate the needle. Let’s discuss them!

Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder

Usually, surgeons prefer Mayo-Hegar needle holders as they work to securely grip and drive the needle. Typically, they are 7 inches long. This helps surgeons reach deeper regions of the body. They find usage in many different surgeries. 

Halsey Needle Holder

This tool is a specialised tummy tuck instrument. It is thought of as an all-rounder in abdominoplasty surgery. They are excellent for holding needles during suturing. 


Additionally, plastic surgeons make use of crile-wood needle holders. They are known for their remarkable locking mechanism. 

Bruns Bone Curettes

These work to contour the bones and cartilage. Usually, they refine or cut the outgrowth. The patient’s body after the removal of the fat needs a quick reshaping of the cartilage and bones. Bruns' bone curettes are ideal for this purpose. 

FAQs

Q1: What’s the incision size for abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty mostly involves extensive incisions during the procedure. Sometimes, the size of the incision covers the hip. While other times, it could be near the belly button. 

Q2: What kind of sutures are used during tummy tuck procedures?

Technicians prefer firm sutures during tummy tuck procedures. Mostly, Progressive Tension Sutures are used. They are ideal for keeping the abdominal flap secure.
