Application:

Standard surgical thumb forceps have interlocking teeth with which pieces of tissue can be held easily without causing bruising from excessive pressure. Only strong structures such as connective tissue or fascias can be gripped with the standard thumb forceps; if the forceps are used with sensitive tissue, they could cause damage.

Peha®-instruments from Hartmann are a safe and economical alternative to reusable instruments. These Hartmann single-use instruments are made of matted, brushed steel. The brushed finish prevents reflections; thus, providing increased safety.

Using a procedure specially developed by Hartmann, the disposable instruments are cleaned prior sterilisation. As a result, disposable instruments boast reliable levels of purity and sterility. Peha®-instruments not only prevent the risk of cross-contamination, but they also fully meet the standards for feel and handling that comes with high-quality medical instruments. To avoid mixing up single-use Peha®-instruments with conventional reusable instruments, these single-use instruments are marked with a single-use label for medical products, as well as with the Peha® Colour Lock® security label. Because Peha®-instruments do not have to be reprocessed, they effectively save on time and cost; not only making them worthwhile for smaller practices, but also for hospitals and physician's kits. Each disposable instrument is individually sterile-packed and has a sterile shelf life of 5 years. Peha®-instruments are alway on hand and ready to use. The Peha®-instrument series offers a wide variety of instrument types in different models–from anatomical forceps to specialised surgical instruments. The single-use instruments in the Peha®-instrument series cover all the major types of medical instruments.

Disposable Peha®-instruments can be disposed of in the household waste after being placed in a transparent, puncture-proof container. In the case of incineration, the recycled material can be used to manufacture new products.

Single-use Peha®-instruments are always in perfect functional and sanitary condition, thereby offering the highest possible degree of user comfort and safety.
