Which instrument would be used to remove tissue or material during surgery?

The Volkman Scoop is designed specifically for the removal of tissue or material during surgical procedures. It is a surgical instrument with a scooped end that allows for effective tissue manipulation and removal, making it particularly useful in procedures where debridement or accessing underlying tissues is necessary.

This instrument is commonly utilized in various surgical situations, including orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries, to create a clear operating field or to help in the excision of necrotic or unwanted tissue. Its shape and design facilitate the safe and controlled scooping of tissue without causing excessive collateral damage to surrounding structures.

While the other instruments listed serve important purposes in the surgical environment, they are not primarily designed for tissue removal. The Smith-Kerrison Punch Forceps are typically used for excising small pieces of tissue but do not scoop; a Drill Guide is utilized for guiding drilling instruments during procedures; and a TECA Retractor is meant for holding back tissue to provide access to the surgical site but does not remove tissue itself.
