Surgical Small Peg

A surgical small peg is a special type of peg which is used by surgeons during a surgery. The size and type of these pegs vary and is used depending upon the type of surgery being performed. There was a time when surgical pegs were made from plastic and wood but today all surgical pegs are made from high end metal. These pegs are not only made to last long but they ensure that they do not break when under pressure as a broken small peg during surgery can cause complications such as during open heart surgery.

While the majority of surgical pegs are manufactured outside the US such as in China, some high quality pegs are still manufactured in the United States. The big problem for doctors when using a surgical small peg is that they should be able to rely on it, if a doctor does not rely on a specific type of peg that the hospital will stop procuring it which forces manufacturers to ensure that they are following the highest manufacturing standards and protocols.

In addition there are numerous types of small pegs used for surgical purposes which include:

  • Flat nose small pegs
  • Pointed small pegs
  • Tiny pegs
  • Long tail pegs

While the above is by no means a complete list of all the various small pegs that surgeons use these are however the most commonly used by surgeons in most operations. In the majority of cases a surgeon will use all these types of pegs in one operation to secure various parts of the body, for instance a flat nose peg will probably be used to hold back the skin so that it does not block the view or come in the way during an operation. This is why these pegs need to have excellent grip capabilities while at the same time need to be easy to open and put on and take off the skin.
