THORACOTOMY SET

Model No : SSTS 121

Type : Surgery Set T Series

Specification : 

Thoracotomy Set consists of instruments made of High Grade Stainless Steel.

A thoracotomy is an incision into the pleural space of the chest. It is performed by surgeons to gain access to the thoracic organs, most commonly the heart, the lungs, or the esophagus, or for access to the thoracic aorta or the anterior spine (the latter may be necessary to access tumors in the spine).

Thoracotomy is a major surgical manoeuvre—it is the first step in many thoracic surgeries including lobectomy or pneumonectomy for lung cancer and requires general anesthesia with endotracheal tube insertion and mechanical ventilation.
