MR Safe What does this mean?
MR Safe

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

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

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 titanium Leriche haemostatic forceps suitable for use in MRI environments?

These forceps are made from non-magnetic titanium, which makes them a strong fit for MRI suites that need metal instruments without introducing ferromagnetic risk. They’re typically used in prep and sterile workflow areas in Zones II and III, where you still need firm clamping and vascular control but can’t bring stainless steel into the space. Because they’re metal, they shouldn’t go inside the bore during a scan unless your facility has specific MR-Conditional conditions defined for tools of this type. Many MRI teams rely on titanium haemostats because they deliver the same dependable grip as stainless options while staying consistent with MRI safety protocols.

2. What advantages does the curved 6-inch Leriche design offer for MRI-related or vascular procedures?

The curved tip and 1x2 teeth give you controlled, reliable gripping—something you need during vessel handling, small-site dissection, or any situation where you’re working around tight anatomy. The length (150mm/6") strikes a good balance between reach and fine control. In MRI environments, the curved profile also helps you work around coils, pads, and cabling without obstructing visibility. Teams often choose Leriche-style forceps for cases where they want a secure clamp that won’t slip, especially when working in angled or partially obstructed areas.

3. How well do titanium Leriche forceps hold up to daily sterilization and heavy clinical use?

Titanium is extremely durable, especially for instruments that are clamped and released repeatedly. These forceps resist corrosion, hinge stiffness, and tooth wear even with constant autoclaving and contact with standard hospital disinfectants. The lighter weight also reduces hand fatigue during procedures that involve prolonged gripping. Facilities that switch to titanium for their MRI-adjacent instruments typically see longer lifespan and more consistent performance than with stainless steel—making them a solid, low-maintenance choice for high-volume surgical and imaging teams.
