Detailed Analysis Report of HERBERT Brand Surgical Instrument Set

Device Identification

The product group in the image is a set of manual hand instruments made of stainless steel, used in medical and surgical operations. The set specifically includes examination and intervention instruments for the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) branch (speculum, etc.) and general surgery suturing/holding instruments (needle holder, clamp, scissors, etc.). The instruments are placed in a metal sterilization tray covered with a blue surgical drape for sterilization purposes.

Brand and Model Information

During the detailed visual examination, brands processed by laser engraving or press printing methods were identified on the body parts of the instruments inside the tray. The inscription HERBERT is clearly visible in areas close to the locking mechanisms of some scissors and holding instruments. Additionally, next to the brand information, the word “Stainless” indicating the material’s quality is present. Although it is not definitive whether all instruments in the image belong to the same brand due to their stacked arrangement, the visible characteristic instruments bear the HERBERT brand.

Areas of Use

This set is designed for use in surgical operations and outpatient interventions due to its structure. The presence of conical ear speculums, in particular, indicates that the set is primarily used by Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists for ear examinations, cerumen removal, or minor intra-aural surgical procedures. Furthermore, the presence of needle holders and clamps makes it suitable for general surgical procedures such as suturing and hemorrhage control.

Observed Parts and Quantity Information

Although it is difficult to give an exact count due to the instruments being scattered and stacked in the image, the visible parts are counted as follows:

• 3 Metal Ear Speculums: In different sizes (conical-tipped examination funnel).
• 1 Wire Speculum/Retractor: An opener with a thin wire structure on the left side.
• 1 Aspirator Tip/Cannula: A thin metal tube with a screw connection point, located in the lower left corner.
• 1 Retractor (Separator): A toothed instrument standing vertically on the right side, used to separate tissues.
• Approximately 8-10 Scissors/Clamps/Needle Holders Group: Hand instruments with looped handles, forming the main bulk of the set. Some of these are referred to as “Gold Handle” instruments, typically with Tungsten Carbide (TC) tips.
• 1 Metal Sterilization Tray: The carrying container in which the instruments are located.

Originality and Workmanship

The metal quality, surface workmanship, and uniformity of brand prints on the instruments in the image indicate that the products are original medical-grade items. Particularly, the gold-colored coating on the handle parts of some instruments, in surgical instrument terminology, signifies that the tip is made of hardened Tungsten Carbide alloy, indicating a high-quality, wear-resistant series (e.g., Gold Series). The workmanship is professional grade.

General Condition

The instruments are in used (second-hand) condition. Their general condition, upon visual inspection, is good. There are superficial dullness due to use and usual wear and tear from sterilization cycles on the instruments. However, no serious corrosion, deep rusting, or breakage that would compromise the integrity of the instruments has been observed.

Physical Deformation and Risk of Malfunction

Placing surgical instruments on top of each other and scattered in the tray (the current situation in the image) is a potential risk that could lead to sharp tips rubbing against each other and becoming dull. In the visual analysis:

• Occasional peeling or discoloration on the handle coatings of the instruments (due to metal fatigue) is normal, but no severe deformation is observed.
• No visible cracks have been detected at the joint and locking points (Box lock).
• No broken, bent, or functionally compromised parts are present in the image.

Mechanical Component Status

The existing hand instruments are entirely mechanical. The hinge mechanisms of scissors, clamps, and needle holders appear intact from the outside. No missing teeth or bending are noticeable in the retractor’s geared structure. Screws and connection points are in place.

Electronic Components and Battery

This product group does not contain any electronic components, motors, screens, circuits, or batteries. They are entirely manually operated surgical equipment.

Accessories and Sterilization Materials

The instruments are part of a surgical set inside a sterilization tray. A blue, non-woven sterilization drape suitable for medical use is laid on the bottom. This drape is intended to prevent direct contact between the instruments and the tray and to maintain sterility.

Measurement and Compatibility

The dimensions of the instruments are standard adult surgical hand instrument sizes. The presence of speculums in different sizes indicates that the set contains variety to accommodate the ear canal diameters of both pediatric (child) and adult patients. The aspirator tip has a universal connection type compatible with standard surgical aspirator hoses.
