What is an amputation kit?
An amputation set is a sterile instrument set specially formulated for performing a medical amputation. This disposable set contains all the tools needed to remove a limb or part of it in a controlled and hygienic manner. These include surgical scissors, clamps, scalpels, saw blades and haemostatic tools.
The amputation sets of Liber Medical are designed for single use and come in fully sterile packaging. This prevents cross-contamination and increases safety during procedures with a high risk of infection.
Applications of amputation sets
Amputation sets are used in acute amputations due to trauma, infection or circulatory disorders, as well as in planned surgical procedures within surgery, vascular surgery or emergency care. By using a disposable set, the medical team is assured of readily available, clean and complete instrumentation - even under time pressure.

- Scalpels and saw blades
