Today S&T is directly represented in most major microsurgical markets with state-of-the-art product lines ranging from forceps, to needle holders, scissors, vessel clamps as well as special instrumentation. Following close collaboration with pioneering microsurgeon Professor Robert Acland in the development of micro vessel clamps, the term Acland® was registered as a trademark of S&T AG.
