Hepp/Scheidel Grasping Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

This precision grasping instrument is intended for controlled holding and manipulation of soft tissue, suture ends, dressings, and small surgical materials in confined or deep operative fields. Its 18 cm length provides reach for procedures where a longer working length is required without sacrificing tactile feedback, making it suitable for use across general surgery, ENT, plastics, and other specialties that require fine tissue handling.

Design & Configuration

The elongated shaft and compact working tip geometry are designed to access narrow corridors while maintaining a steady, ergonomic grip for the operator. Ring-style handling offers familiar finger control and allows for precise force modulation during grasping and traction. The instrument’s straight profile and proportional length contribute to improved visibility and control when working in deep or restricted anatomy.
