Stainless Steel Grades

Health and Care surgical instruments are manufactured using the correct grades of stainless steels specified in BSENISO7153-1:2001 and these are listed below. In this standard, the grades of stainless steel are given a “Reference Letter” which cross references the grades of material.

Grade A, B and C would be generally described as 410 / 420 types and are extensively used for dental and surgical instruments. They are used for applications where cutting edges, wear resistance and strength are required.

Long service lives should be expected from martensitic stainless steel dental and surgical instruments, properly manufactured and subjected to appropriate cleaning procedures.

Artery Forceps and Clamps

Grade B, AISI 420 S29 (AISI 420, SUS 420 J1)
