Ballentine Hysterectomy Fcps str 1 Tooth 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in gynecologic surgery, this hysterectomy forceps is intended to grasp, retract, and secure tissue and vascular pedicles during hysterectomy and related procedures. The single-tooth jaw provides a reliable point contact for controlled gripping of ligaments, uterine tissue, and suture material when placing ties or applying clips.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides direct line access in open abdominal and certain vaginal approaches, allowing the surgeon to apply atraumatic directional control. The single-tooth tip concentrates holding force at a point to reduce slippage of fibrous tissue and suture while minimizing broader compressive surface area. A balanced length of 21 cm offers reach into the pelvic cavity while preserving tactile feedback for precise tissue handling.
