Surgical Instruments, Abdominal SET (Product Code: SLE/MD/08) is a comprehensive instrument set used to perform open abdominal and gynaecological operations in hospital theatres. Surgical departments select it for emergencies such as exploratory laparotomy and caesarean section, and its key difference from a basic set is the self-retaining Collin and Balfour abdominal retractors, long Pean/Rochester and Mixter forceps, uterine forceps and a Yankauer suction tube. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

According to its description, the abdominal set serves two kinds of work. The first is abdominal emergencies, such as exploratory laparotomies and caesarean sections. The second is common planned interventions, especially in gynaecology, where the Phaneuf and Duplay uterine forceps and the Babcock and Duval tissue forceps come into play.
Longer instruments of 230mm to 280mm let the surgeon work deep in the abdominal cavity, while the three-blade Collin and Balfour retractors hold the wound open without an assistant's hands. The malleable spatula is used to hold the bowel away during closure, and the Yankauer tube connects to a suction source to keep the field clear. Like any surgical set, it belongs in a facility with a working theatre, sterilisation and resuscitation rooms, and trained staff.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala-based company that supplies hospital instrument sets alongside its wider laboratory range. Hospitals, NGOs, dealers and importers can place the abdominal set on the same quotation as other theatre items. More about the company is on the company profile page.
