Clinical Application
This forceps is engineered for secure, atraumatic grasping and retraction of soft tissues. The 14 mm jaw width provides broad contact for handling fragile organs and specimens—commonly employed during thoracic procedures (lung and pleural tissue), general surgery (bowel, omentum), trauma cases, and other operative situations requiring controlled tissue manipulation or blunt dissection. Its 20 cm length gives sufficient reach for operating in deeper cavities while maintaining tactile control at the handles.
Design & Configuration
The Collin Duval geometry pairs a relatively long shaft with broad 14 mm jaws to distribute compressive force over a larger surface area, reducing focal crush on delicate tissues. The handheld format and balanced length enable precise finger control for atraumatic grasping and repositioning. This configuration is useful when a secure grip is needed without sharp teeth or extreme compression.
