title: Microsurgical instruments and their care.
abstract: The microsurgical instruments should be chosen such that they are less than 10 cm long, made of titanium, dulled, have very little closing pressure and the working parts do not open more than 10mm. They should be cleaned with ultrasonic cleaners and sterilised preferably by Ethylene oxide, though Cidex and dry heat can also be used.
