Episotmy Set

An Episiotomy Set contains the tools needed to perform an episiotomy. The procedure involves making an incision in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) to widen the vaginal opening during childbirth. This helps prevent tearing and speeds up delivery.

Common Components of an Episiotomy Set:

1. Scalpel: Used to make the incision in the perineum.
2. Scissors: Cut tissue precisely during the procedure.
3. Needle Holders: Hold the needle while stitching the incision.
4. Forceps: Grasp and hold tissues during surgery.
5. Hemostats: Clamp blood vessels to control bleeding.
6. Sutures: Close the incision after delivery.
7. Surgical Sponges: Absorb fluids and maintain a clean field.
8. Retractors: Hold tissue back for better access and visibility.
9. Tissue Forceps: Manipulate tissue around the incision.
10. Antiseptic Solution: Clean and disinfect the area before the incision.

Uses:

• Childbirth: Doctors perform an episiotomy when the baby is large, the perineum is tight, or when a faster delivery is needed.
• Repair after Delivery: After delivery, the surgeon uses the set to close the incision.

The Episiotomy Set ensures the procedure runs smoothly, with minimal complications for the mother.
