Birkett Tonsil Artery Fcps cvd to side 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for ENT and oropharyngeal procedures, this Birkett-pattern tonsil artery forceps provides atraumatic control of small to medium-sized vessels and reliable tissue grasping during tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and related soft-tissue procedures. The side-curved profile allows access around the tonsillar pillars and lateral pharyngeal tissues, enabling secure ligation or placement of hemostatic clips and sutures in confined oral cavity workspaces.

Design & Configuration

The side-curved geometry places the jaws off the instrument’s longitudinal axis, improving visibility and reach when working lateral to the midline or around anatomic corners. At 19 cm overall length the shanks provide extended reach from the operator’s hand to deep oropharyngeal sites while preserving tactile control. The Birkett pattern typically features narrow, occluding jaws that combine secure vessel control with minimal bulk for precise placement in tight surgical fields.
