English term or phrase: Floor grade instruments
Dit komt uit een lijst met medische benodigdheden (verder geen context). Hieronder volgen onder andere: floor grade knife, floor grade retractor, floor grade forceps etc.

Ik ben er wel achter dat 'floor grade' instrumenten meer op de afdeling worden gebruikt, versus 'surgical instruments' die in de ok worden gebruikt en van betere kwaliteit zijn.

Bestaat er in het Nederlands een term voor 'floor grade'?

Bij deze :)

"instrumenten voor algemeen gebruik" kan misschien worden gebruikt, maar er is vast een meer specifieke term voor. Ik weet dat het Noorse equivalent van "voor algemeen gebruik" in elk geval hier in Noorwegen wordt gebruikt voor floor-grade.

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: je zoekt iets met 'kwaliteit' erin / je kunt ook zeggen dat 'voor algemeen gebruik' een goed gevonden vertaling is voor 'floor grade' ('floor' is uiteraard 'de vloer'), waarbij je 'surgical grade' zou kunnen vertalen met 'voor chirurgisch gebruik'

Reference: dit maakt het verschil (in kwaliteit) duidelijk

Reference information:
surgical grade / operation room grade / O.R. grade vs. floor grade
chirurgische kwaliteit vs. ...... kwaliteit

floor-grade, ward grade, economy grade, grade 3, lower grade,

als je 'afdelingskwaliteit' intikt krijg je een klein aantal relevante hits

ik kon (niet zo gauw) nog een andere specifieke term vinden

Koens suggestie lijkt ook een optie, zie laatste referentie

Grade 1
This grade of surgical instrument is the highest quality instrument available in the market today. These precision German-quality instruments are forged and hand-crafted specifically for RICA by master craftsmen. Using the most exacting standards in the industry, these instruments are manufactured using 410-420 surgical grade stainless steel, which is the best series of steel to use for maintaining hardness and longevity. Grade 1 instruments will provide the surgeon with unfaltering quality, excellent durability, consistent reliablility and a great investment.

Grade 2
The surgical instruments classified as Grade 2 are high quality instruments that are more affordable than our Grade 1 line. These instruments are manufactured to meet the rigorous standards and daily requirements of the operating room (hence "operating room" quality). These instruments are manufactured using 410-420 surgical grade stainless steel. The surgical instruments in this grade are more affordable than Grade 1 and represent a high quality alternative that will provide more short-term value for the surgeon.

Grade 3
These surgical instruments are manufactured using surgical grade stainless steel in Pakistan. This grade of instrument offers significant value for the CLINIC and OFFICE. These instruments are suitable for use in a wide variety of surgical venues where economical value is most important. This grade of instrument is available for selected surgical instruments, especially the more ROUTINELY USED INSTRUMENTS IN THE OPERATING ROOM AND/OR EXAM OFFICE.

These instruments are the most affordable available today and are best described as a "floor-grade" surgical instrument

Instrument Quality
Surgical-grade instruments are required in all surgical sets because they are designed and manufactured to strict specifications from high-quality stainless steel. They are subjected to quality control inspections at several points during the manufacturing process. These instruments are less likely to fail after repeated uses and should cause no tissue damage related to their construction and finishing. Surgical-grade instruments, if properly handled, cleaned and sterilized, will provide years of useful life. IN CONTRAST, FLOOR- (LOWER) GRADE instruments may have a similar design, but their specifications for steel quality and manufacture are less stringent. For example, on inspection of new instruments, one may discover nicks and burrs, and instrument tips and jaws may not meet perfectly. Using these instruments in a delicate surgical procedure can lead to unintended tissue damage that, along with the need for tissue repair, increases the potential for poor healing, infection and increased recovery costs.

Disposable and floor-grade instruments should not be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner or surgical sets with surgical grade instruments because doing so can cause metal changes due to ion transfer. These changes, in turn, alter the reaction between the metal and chemicals used for instrument cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. Resistance to staining, pitting and rusting can also be compromised. Once these problems occur, even surgical-grade instruments can be compromised, and they will no longer be appropriate for use in surgical instrument sets.

Knowledgeable CIS technicians effectively manage instrument flow and correctly handle instrument sets to maintain their high quality. Their education and skills protect patients and the significant financial investment made by their facility to have surgical-grade instruments available.

12. Explain the difference between floor grade and surgical grade instruments.

Not all facilities are involved in cleaning and sterilization of surgical instrumentation. However, they may be required to assemble special procedure trays for clinics, dental, and special use areas. These areas may utilize surgical grade instruments, versus the WARD or FLOOR grade instruments, with the different types of surgical instruments available. Regardless of the type of support offered a medical facility, the SPD technician should be familiar with the different types of surgical instruments in the event the facility decides to include SPD in the care, handling, and assembly of surgical instrumentation.

e. Instruments are available in two grades. The common instruments, hemostats, scissors, and soft tissue, are available in a "floor grade" metal. These instruments are made from forgings of lower grade quality metals and are usually plated. They usually bend or break easily, and the precision of key features is less exact than the higher quality O.R. grade instruments. Plated instruments can be scratched or chipped relatively easily and rust much easier than the higher quality instruments. They must be replaced more frequently. O.R. grade instruments are made from 300-4 grade stainless surgical steel and are more resistant to corrosion and wear. It is vital that the lower grade instrumentation be processed separately from the O.R. grade instruments. Rust, like cancer, can spread if these instruments are mixed. It is vitally important to protect the resources invested in surgical instrumentation.

Kelly forceps are a type of hemostat usually made of stainless steel. They resemble a pair of scissors with the blade replaced by a blunted grip. They also feature a locking mechanism to allow them to act as clamps. Kelly forceps may be floor grade (regular use) and as such not used for surgery. They may also be sterilized and used in operations, in both human and veterinary medicine.
