MR Safe What does this mean?

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are these titanium curved Crile haemostatic forceps appropriate for use in MRI environments?

These forceps are made from non-magnetic titanium, which makes them well-suited for MRI suites that require instruments that won’t react to the magnetic field. They’re commonly used in prep and procedural zones where ferromagnetic tools aren’t allowed. Because they are metallic, they shouldn’t be placed inside the bore during active scanning unless your facility has specific MR-Conditional conditions for metal instruments. Many imaging departments choose titanium tools like this because they eliminate the pull hazard while still delivering the strength and control needed for surgical workflow.

2. What makes the curved design useful when working near MRI equipment or during fine surgical tasks?

The curved profile gives you better visibility and access when you’re clamping small vessels or controlling tissue in confined spaces. It helps you work around coils, lines, and positioning equipment without losing your angle, which is especially helpful in MRI prep areas. The shape also reduces hand strain when working at awkward orientations, making it a strong choice for vascular work, delicate procedures, and any setup where precision is more important than brute force.

3. How durable are titanium Crile forceps during repeated sterilization and daily clinical use?

Titanium stands up extremely well to constant use and frequent sterilization cycles. These forceps stay corrosion-resistant through autoclaving and tolerate standard disinfectants without weakening the hinge or changing the tension. Facilities that rely on titanium instruments typically see fewer alignment issues and longer service life compared to stainless steel. For MRI teams who need dependable, non-magnetic tools that hold their performance over time, titanium Crile forceps are one of the most consistent options.

4. How does titanium construction improve long-term performance for haemostats used frequently in MRI suites?

Titanium holds its alignment well, resists corrosion from repeated sterilization, and avoids the magnetization drift that stainless tools can develop over time. For biomeds and sterile-processing teams, that stability means fewer instrument failures and more consistent safety screening. For MRI techs, it means a tool that behaves the same way every time—lightweight, predictable, and reliable near sensitive imaging hardware.
