Forceps - Topic profile

Hi, Does anyone work in the medical device industry seen rust forming on Stainless Steel Forceps? The rust I am seeing is at the V-joint of the forceps and I guess the soldering/welding metal is oxidizing- Anyone has experience what kind of soldering/welding materials are used for surgical stainless steel forceps? Thanks!!

Welding stainless is tricky - it can be done well with almost all types, but you have to know what you are doing. The concern would be if it allows small holes for bacteria to survive an autoclave, you could possibly sterilise it with a nitric acid path or a bunsen burner flame.

does having forceps used have any affect on you afer the birth?? do they scar you or make you "wider" inside??

I hate to say this, but I still feel bruised now! It takes a long time to heal, although none told me that it was beacuse of the forceps, I just thought I was weird!! _________________
