They are also designed to perform with precise surgical function. We remain committed to putting the finest instruments into the hands of the FOCOS volunteer surgeons who are dedicated to helping those in need.”
“Our recent donation to FOCOS included various retractors used in shoulder surgery, such as fukuda, capsule, humeral head, and rotator cuff. In addition, we donated hemostatic and tissue forceps needed in many types of surgeries performed.”
