. Surgical and gynæcological nursing. Female Perineal Set (Fig. 125).—For the repair of lacera-tions of the female perineum, the usual dissecting set is oncemore the basis of selection. To it may be added six extra arteryforceps, six medium-sized curved clamps and the right and leftEmmett scissors specially designed for this work. Where aspecial type of needle (as the Peaslee, Reverdin, Ashton, orHirst) is not employed, several fairly heavy, curved cuttingneedles should be supplied for the heavy, perineal sutures and alighter, full-curved cutting needle for the intravaginal suture

Uterine Curettage Set (Fig. 126).—For curettement ofthe uterus, the following instruments are necessary: perinealretractor or vaginal speculum; volsellum, or double tenaculumforceps, or single tenaculum; uterine sound; small and largeuterine cervical dilators; sharp and dull uterine curettes; uterinedressing forceps; scissors, and sponge SELECTION OF INSTRUMENTS 331 13. Trachelorrhaphy Set.—As repair of the cervix is generally-preceded by curettage, the trachelorrhaphy set is formed bycombining the curettage and dissecting sets. 14. Perineal Prostatectomy Set.—For perineal prostatectomyby Youngs method a greatly augmented and supplementeddissecting set is necessary. The artery clamps should be increasedto twelve or eighteen. Six medium-sized curved clamps shouldbe added. In addition, there should be: three or four sizes ofYoungs prostatectomy retractors; two sizes of Youngs prostaticlobe forceps; one Young prostatic tractor; one Young prostaticenucleator; and a metal urethral sound of suitable size. The preceding groups, while not exhaustive, may be con-sidered a fairly accurate general sketch of the types of instru-ments selected for use in those common operations upon the softtissues that fall within the realms of general surgery and gynaecol-ogy.
