Clinical Application
Long, bowl-tipped forceps designed to provide atraumatic, broad-surface contact with soft tissues and specimens in deep cavities. Commonly used in open abdominal, colorectal and gynecologic procedures for grasping omentum, bowel, large tissue specimens and for atraumatic retraction or delivery of tissue through an incision. The bowl-shaped contact surface minimizes focal pressure, reducing risk of crush injury when manipulating delicate structures.
Design & Configuration
The 45 cm length gives the surgeon extended reach into deep operative fields without overextension of the hand or need for auxiliary instruments, improving access in laparotomy and deep pelvic exposures. The bowl-shaped jaws distribute force over a wider area than fine-toothed forceps, which helps preserve tissue integrity during manipulation and specimen handling. The long shaft also facilitates working across the sterile field from a distance, useful in procedures where space is constrained.
