Additional Information for Sternum Knife
A Sternum Knife is a type of surgical instrument used in medical procedures involving the sternum, which is the long flat bone located in the center of the chest. It is specifically designed for making incisions or cuts in the sternum during surgeries such as open-heart procedures or sternotomy.
The Sternum Knife typically has a long, thin, and sharp blade that allows surgeons to make precise and controlled incisions in the sternum. The blade is usually curved to match the shape of the sternum, ensuring a more accurate and efficient cut.
These knives are made from high-quality stainless steel or other durable materials to ensure their strength and longevity. They are also designed with ergonomic handles to provide a comfortable grip for the surgeon during the procedure.
Sternum knives are an essential tool in thoracic and cardiac surgeries, as they allow surgeons to access the heart and other vital organs safely. They are commonly found in the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
It's important to note that the use of a Sternum Knife requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified medical professionals.
