About our Sterile Single Use range
What's in this range
Sterile single-use versions of the instruments theatres use every day: scissors (Mayo, Metzenbaum, Iris and more), forceps (Adson, Spencer Wells, Allis, Rampley and specialist patterns), punch biopsy instruments, podiatry instrument sets, retractors and skin hooks, suction tubes, and specula for ENT and gynaecological use.
Why sterile single-use
Each instrument is individually packaged and pre-sterilised, ready for immediate use with no on-site reprocessing between procedures - reducing cross-contamination risk and freeing up theatre sterilisation capacity. Every reference is its own product page with a photo and full specification.
NHS Supply Chain
Many lines in this range are confirmed live on the NHS Supply Chain framework, shown with a "Live on NHS Supply Chain" link on the product page. Availability varies by reference code - contact us or your account manager to confirm current framework status for a specific item.
What are sterile single-use surgical instruments?
Pre-sterilised instruments designed for one procedure only, then disposed of, removing the need for on-site sterilisation and reducing cross-contamination risk.
Are these instruments NHS Supply Chain approved?
Many products in this range are available through our NHS Supply Chain approval. Availability varies by reference code, so please check with our team or your account manager for specific items. CE MDR marking applies to all applicable products.
What's the difference between single-use and reusable instruments?
Single-use instruments are sterilised once and discarded after use; reusable instruments are designed to be cleaned, re-sterilised, and used multiple times. Both ranges are available from OscarTech. Browse our reusable instruments range.
Can we set up a trade account for bulk ordering?
Yes. NHS Trusts, clinics and private hospitals can register for a trade account with negotiated pricing on bulk orders.
