A major limiter of this market is the non-disposable nature of hand instruments. Most of these products are metallic and long lasting, meaning that there is not a frequent demand for hand instruments. Additionally, many experienced surgeons are reluctant to try new designs and stay with the older generations of hand instruments out of familiarity.
Hand instruments are mostly non-disposable, unpowered, metallic instruments that are used as hand tools for surgery. These include, but are not limited to, graspers, knives, probes, punches, scissors, scissor punches, dissectors and shears. Each of these tools comes in a variety of configurations and geometries to suit surgeon preference and surgical need. Because hand instruments are essentially a commodity market, the key differentiating factors are ergonomics and surgeon preference.
