Collin Tongue and Organ Holding Fcps 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide a secure, controlled hold on the tongue and other soft organs, this instrument is used to retract, manipulate and stabilize tissue during procedures where precise exposure is required. Common applications include otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, intraoral and pharyngeal procedures, and select general surgical cases where a firm but atraumatic grip on mobile soft tissue is needed. The 17 cm length offers a balance of reach and control for working in the oral cavity and upper airway.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s narrow jaws concentrate holding force on targeted soft tissue while minimizing bulk in the surgical field. Ring handles with a locking (ratchet) mechanism allow the surgeon or assistant to maintain a sustained grip without continuous manual tension, improving exposure and freeing a hand for other tasks. The 17 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for intraoral exposure while keeping tip control precise for delicate manipulation.
