Surgical products designed and manufactured by the Scanlan family since 1921

New SCANLAN® Caliper and MEMORY Instruments!

SCANLAN® MEMORY Instruments are a unique hybrid instrument design of nitinol and stainless steel.
The straight shafts of the SCANLAN® MEMORY instruments can be easily
customized into a variety of curved shapes during the procedure to best fit the
patient’s anatomy and the instrument will return to the original shape when exposed to high temperatures.

New SCANLAN® VATS / MICS Instruments!

SCANLAN® is proud to introduce the new Axial Handle Forceps. This innovative design provides superior balance and feel. They are perfect for thoracoscopic surgeons who prefer instruments which they can “roll the handles” between their fingertips. The ergonomic handle design provides a secure grasp that is comfortable and familiar.

40 New Surg-I-Band® Color Coding Designs!

Scanlan introduced the original Surg-I-Band color coding in 1961 …and since that time has continued to expand the color coding system. We are excited to introduce 40 new designs which highlight unique symbols, numbers and operating room specialties. These are a great addition and compliments the complete Surg-I-Band color coding system- including spools, labels, dispensers, removers, and a carousel.

New SCANLAN® Instrument Demagnetizer!

The Scanlan Instrument Demagnetizer provides a fast, easy and cost effective way to quickly eliminate magnetic attraction of surgical instrumentation.. Thus eliminating frustrating "needle jump" during surgical procedures.

Giving Back

In today’s busy society it is hard to take the time to help ourselves much less help others. Recently Taiylor Wennick our Southeast Regional Specialist who travels extensively for Scanlan took her vacation time to travel even more to a country still recovering from a major disaster just to give back. Taiylor meets, when schedule permits, with her Bible group weekly, a few of the members along with Northpoint ministries/410 Bridge took a trip to Haiti to assist in their recovery. They worked on a variety of projects such as working along with the local people to rebuild structures damaged by the quake, ministered to displaced people living in and around the city of Port Au Prince and helping with the orphaned children left by the quake. The group was also successful in building 3 houses that will accommodate up to 30 people who currently live in tents and finished the orphanage that is owned by Dr Brenard at the New life Link in Carrefour, Haiti. A trip to give something back that will have lasting memories for a lifetime.

Thanks for giving back Taiylor!
