Which types of instruments require special care due to their complexity?

Power tools and robotic instruments require special care due to their complexity because they often involve intricate mechanisms that need to function reliably during surgical procedures. These instruments can include various moving parts, motors, and electronic components that necessitate careful handling, cleaning, disassembly, and maintenance to ensure they operate correctly and safely. Moreover, these devices can be expensive and may have specific manufacturer guidelines that must be followed to avoid damage and ensure longevity.

In contrast, basic surgical instruments like scissors and forceps, while they do require cleaning and care, typically do not have the same level of complexity or special operational requirements as power tools and robotic instruments. Disposable instruments are designed for single use and do not require the same level of maintenance.
