Surgical equipment accessories play a vital role in ensuring the success and efficiency of surgical procedures. These seemingly minor items contribute significantly to instrument organization, patient safety, and a smooth workflow in the operating room.

Surgical equipment accessories comprise various items that:

Enhance instrument access and organization
Maintain sterility and prevent contamination
Provide illumination and visualization
Facilitate tissue manipulation and hemostasis (blood flow control)
Maintain a clean and organized surgical field
