The Pick, 3mm Point Angled 90°, Medium, 6 3/8″ is a specialized surgical pick designed for precise manipulation, positioning, and controlled access during appropriate surgical procedures. Its 90-degree angled configuration provides a distinct working orientation that can assist the surgeon when approaching areas where a straight instrument may not provide the desired access.
The instrument features a 3mm pointed tip, offering a defined working point for localized manipulation. The pointed configuration allows the user to perform controlled contact and positioning when working around delicate anatomical structures. Its medium pattern provides a practical balance between working strength and maneuverability for specialized surgical applications.
With an overall length of 6 3/8 inches, this surgical pick provides useful reach while remaining comfortable to control by hand. The length is suitable for maintaining precise instrument positioning within the operative field without unnecessarily limiting movement. Combined with the 90-degree angle, the overall design provides an alternative approach for procedures requiring a perpendicular or offset working direction.
The angled tip can be particularly useful when the surgical site requires the working end to approach from a different orientation. This allows the instrument to be positioned according to the anatomy and procedural requirements while the handle remains in a controlled and accessible position. The exact application should always be determined by the trained healthcare professional according to the procedure and established surgical technique.
The Pick, 3mm Point Angled 90° is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion when proper instrument-care procedures are followed. The precision working point is designed for controlled use and should be protected from excessive force, impact, and improper handling.
For reusable instruments, appropriate cleaning and sterilization are essential. After use, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned according to validated procedures and carefully inspected for deformation, corrosion, surface damage, or changes to the pointed tip. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s established instrument-processing protocol.
The Pick, 3mm Point Angled 90°, Medium, 6 3/8″ combines a defined 3mm point with a 90-degree working angle and practical overall length. This configuration makes it a useful addition to specialized surgical instrument sets where controlled access, precise positioning, and reliable instrument handling are required.
