Clinical Application
Designed for open gastrointestinal procedures, these intestinal forceps provide secure, atraumatic temporary occlusion of bowel during resection, anastomosis, enterotomy repair and stoma creation. The atraumatic jaw geometry distributes pressure across a broad surface to minimize focal tissue injury while maintaining haemostatic control of the lumen during mobilization and suturing.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s elongated 23 cm profile gives working reach for deep pelvic or upper abdominal exposure while keeping handles accessible to the surgeon. A locking handle provides reliable retention of clamped tissue without continuous manual compression. The long, fenestrated/longitudinal-style jaws are intended to maximize contact area and reduce crush injury to delicate intestinal tissue compared with toothed clamps.
