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.
