As the leading surgical grip manufacturer, we understand that precision, control, and comfort are three of the most important characteristics of a surgical instrument handle grip. Providers rely on their tools for complex orthopedic procedures, laparoscopic procedures, and microsurgeries. We are committed to designing and engineering custom surgical instrument grips that exceed industry standards and meet the tactile feedback and stability needed for surgeons to work with confidence while minimizing fatigue.

In this blog, we’ll explore the wide-range of applications of surgical instrument grips and how they contribute to improved surgical performance across various medical disciplines.

Surgical Grips for Orthopedic Surgery

Surgical instrument grips for orthopedic surgery are designed with ergonomic contours and textured surfaces. This enables the surgeon to properly grasp the instrument with their hand placement fitting right into the contours of the handle grip. This enhances their ability to control the tool and provide a precise and accurate case. Also, the strong bond (both mechanical and chemical) ensures that the grip won’t dislodge when impacted or torque is applied and that there is no gap or separation at the interface between the medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and stainless steel instrument to prevent incursion of bioburden or other contaminants. The elastomeric material utilized is capable of repeated use and sterilization in a steam autoclave. With our expertise as a surgical instrument grip manufacturer, we ensure that surgeons have the right tools for joint replacements, fracture repair, spinal fusions, injections, and more.

Microsurgery Surgical Grips

With our reputation as the premier surgical instrument grip manufacturer, we are receiving more and more project questions for surgical grips for tools to perform microsurgery. In these procedures, the smallest movement can have significant consequences. The tool’s grip is one of the main factors to maintaining a steady hand. Microsurgeries can include nerve repair, vascular anastomosis, or ophthalmic surgery.

Surgical Grips for Neurosurgery

A neurosurgeon is operating within the confines of the brain or spinal cord, which requires exceptional control and dexterity. The surgical instrument grips that are engineered for neurosurgery need to be customizable with features including adjustable tension and interchangeable inserts. This gives the surgeons the ability to tailor their grip for the technique necessary for each procedure and minimizes fatigue in their hands.

Surgical Grips for Dental and Oral Surgery

Dental and oral surgery require a great amount of flexibility and customization from a surgical instrument grip manufacturer. Grips need to be designed with angled handles and non-slip surfaces. Space is tight for these providers and the margin for error is very slim. A secure grip during every procedure, from extractions to implants, is the most important.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

The goal for any surgery is to be as minimally invasive as possible. As laparoscopic techniques become more advanced, so do the tools needed to perform those procedures. Instruments are getting smaller, and surgical instrument grips need to be tailored to tools that perform specific operations. As an expert in surgical instrument grip manufacturing, we see more and more innovation in our future and the importance of surgical instrument grips continuing to rise.
