Cesarean Set

A Cesarean Set is a collection of surgical instruments specifically designed for performing a cesarean section (C-section). This set contains the tools needed for both the incision and the delivery of the baby, as well as post-surgery procedures.

Common Components of a Cesarean Set:

1. Scalpel: Used to make the abdominal and uterine incisions.
2. Scissors: For cutting tissue, sutures, or the umbilical cord.
3. Needle Holders: Used for holding needles during suturing.
4. Forceps: Grasp the baby’s head or the umbilical cord during delivery.
5. Hemostats: Clamp blood vessels to control bleeding.
6. Surgical Sponges: Absorb fluids and maintain a clean field.
7. Retractors: Hold back tissue, such as the abdominal wall, to provide clear access to the uterus.
8. Sutures: For closing the incision sites in the abdomen and uterus.
9. Umbilical Cord Clamps: To clamp the umbilical cord after birth.
10. Surgical Drains: Used to remove excess fluid from the surgical site and prevent infection.

Additional Tools:

• Foley Catheter: Used to drain the bladder during surgery.
• Suctions: To remove fluids or debris during the procedure.

Types of Cesarean Section:

• Classical Cesarean: A vertical incision in the uterus.
• Low Segment Cesarean: A horizontal incision in the lower part of the uterus (more common and preferred).

The Cesarean Set is essential for ensuring a smooth, controlled C-section, helping to minimize complications for both mother and baby.
