Clinical Application
Curved angiotribe forceps designed to provide controlled crushing occlusion of vessels and soft-tissue pedicles during open surgical procedures. Commonly used in general, gynecologic and thoracic surgery for secure vessel control prior to suture ligation or division. The crushing action creates a reliably hemostatic zone where permanent ligation or transection will follow; this instrument is not intended for delicate microvascular anastomoses.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft geometry improves access and line-of-sight in deep or narrow operative fields while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the wound. A ratchet-style locking mechanism maintains consistent compressive force on the occluded tissue, allowing hands-free control during ligation or preparation for division. The broad occlusive jaw surfaces distribute compressive force to create a secure crush without relying on fine pointing or atraumatic grip patterns.
