Instrument selection should be based on the specific procedure, tissue characteristics, required working dimensions, and surgeon preference.
For reliable long-term performance, the instrument should be cleaned promptly after use, thoroughly inspected, and maintained according to applicable instructions. Particular attention should be given to the working jaws, alignment, hinge mechanism, and overall surface condition.
