[A cytologic wire brush for flexible endoscopes].

Development and serial production of a special instrument for scraping off from the mucous membrane with a following microscopic examination of the material could considerably widen the possibilities of endoscopists in difficult to access regions.

[A biopsy forceps with a needle for a flexible endoscope].

Biopsy forceps with a suture needle were developed. They will enable to increase considerably the efficacy and accuracy of diagnostic procedures in early cancer and precancerous conditions, and the differentiation of malignant and benign affections of internal organs as well.

[New instruments for pediatric abdominal surgery].

New all-purpose instruments for abdominal surgery in children are described. Instruments are easy to use and non-traumatic. They have decreased weight and dimensions, and can be adopted for wide use in surgery in infants and young children.

[Dissectors and clamps for pediatric cardiovascular surgery].

The new multi-purpose instruments for cardiovascular surgery in infants and newborns are designed. As compared to their analogues they have smaller mass and dimensions, they are atraumatic and more convenient which makes it possible to use them widely in children's cardiovascular surgery.

[Clamps for cardiovascular surgery of children].

[New instruments for pediatric cardiovascular surgery].

The new instruments well adapt anatomical structures of children. Such features as specific dimensions and configuration, light weight, and easy in operation make them suitable for wide application in pediatric surgery.

[Forceps for the kidney pedicle in newborn and young infants].

Medical instruments for newborns and infants are newly developed the dimensions of which carefully follow infantile anatomic and physiologic features. Instruments are characterized by small weight, flexibility, and small dimensions of working parts. This reduces tissue injuries, makes better view of the operative field and optimizes working conditions during surgery.
