Clinical Application
Designed for use in hysterectomy and related gynecologic procedures, these forceps provide atraumatic grasping and temporary occlusion of uterine tissue, pedicles and supporting structures. The 25 cm length affords extended reach into the pelvis for both open and transvaginal approaches, enabling secure tissue handling during vessel control, ligation preparation, and traction of the uterus or cervix while minimizing crush injury to tissue.
Design & Configuration
The long-shank design gives improved access to deep pelvic anatomy, while the locking handle (ratchet) permits controlled closure and hands-free retention of clamped tissue. An atraumatic jaw profile distributes contact pressure across a broader surface to reduce focal compression, which is clinically valuable when preserving tissue viability near vascular pedicles. A slender shaft geometry enhances visibility and maneuverability within confined operative fields.
