Grey Medical believes in supplying surgeons with surgical-grade medical instruments worldwide. Reconstructive surgeries are complex. They require well-crafted and ergonomic medical tools. Below is a quick overview for your guidance, such as:

Features of Foot and Ankle Instruments

Our tools have the following major features, precisely:

• Variety of shapes and sizes: At Grey Medical, we harbour a vast array of shapes and sizes. The anatomy of the foot and ankle varies with each new patient. For instance, surgeons may need to access small joints and take out bone spurs. All of these tasks can be fulfilled with our different foot and ankle instruments available in different configurations. 

• Specialisation: Every tool at our facility performs different functions, such as trimming bones, retraction, clamping, etc.

 

Apart from these, all our tools are manufactured from stainless steel of the highest quality. Moreover, we keep the designs ergonomic to facilitate surgeons over long duty hours. 

Uses and Common Types of Foot and Ankle Instruments

Below is a brief introduction to major foot and ankle instruments, along with their uses, precisely:

Osteotomes and chisels

Procedures such as steotomies (bone cutting) and joint fusions (arthrodesis) benefit from the use of osteotomes and chisels. They work to trim and reshape bones during reconstruction and fracture repair. 

Bone rongeurs

These work on cartilage and bone to reshape and trim the sharp ends when needed. While scalpels work to incise soft tissues.

Forceps

There is a need for different forceps, such as bone, tissue, and bandage forceps. These medical tools efficiently hold bones and tissues during long surgery hours.

Bone Clamps

These work to compress and realign the bone fragments during realignment and reconstructive surgeries of the foot or the ankle. Mostly, they find usage during fracture repair surgeries.

Bone harvesting set

When reconstructing deformities, there is a need for a bone harvesting set. This set incorporates cutting tools such as trephines and attachments. This helps the surgeon harvest the bones.

Curettes

Surgical curettes work to either drain an abscess or clean debris. 

 

Apart from these, we are home to sterilisable foot and ankle instruments such as comedone extractors, shavers, elevators, and paediatric burs, among others.
