Harmonic scalpel hand-pieces are typically not designed for autoclaving or steam sterilization due to their electronic components and sensitive materials. Instead, they are usually cleaned and disinfected using low-level disinfection methods as per the manufacturer's guidelines. It's essential to consult the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper handling and maintenance of the device. Always prioritize safety and device integrity when considering sterilization methods.

Which dissecting tools should be used for pointing to structures removing connecting tissue and separting and why?
For pointing to structures, fine-tipped forceps or a dissecting needle are ideal as they allow for precision and careful manipulation without damaging the specimen. To remove connecting tissue, scissors with fine blades or dissecting scissors are effective, as they provide the control needed to cut delicate tissues. For separating structures, a combination of blunt-ended forceps and a scalpel can be used; the forceps help gently lift and separate while the scalpel can cut through any remaining connective tissue. These tools are essential for maintaining the integrity of the specimen while ensuring accurate dissection.
