Proper Care and Scheduled
Preventative Maintenance
Proper care of surgical instruments begins with appropriate cleaning.
This guide discusses various methods of washing, sterilizing, and cleaning all
types of instruments. Proper care also means off-site maintenance of instruments on
a regular basis for sharpening and adjusting. There is no standard schedule;
maintenance will be determined by frequency of use. A general rule of thumb for busy
practices is to schedule maintenance every six months. Instruments which may require
more frequent sharpening and adjusting include:
 | Scissors |
| Needleholders |
| Bone cutters |
| Hemostats |
| Osteotomes |
| Rongeurs |
| Chisels |
| Bone curettes |
| Knives |
| Punches |
