Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 21   TSC 518 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Device Fragments

Captions available

The idea

Device fragments are broken pieces of instruments or devices, such as a drill bit, a broken instrument tip or a guidewire tip.

In practice

Broken devices and saved parts are set aside for examination, and every part is accounted for.

Where people slip

If a device breaks during a case, say so at once, so the surgeon can look for the missing piece.
