Singley Tuttle Lung Grasping Fcps 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of pulmonary parenchyma, this lung-grasping forceps is used to mobilize and retract lung tissue during thoracic procedures such as lobectomy, wedge resection, lung biopsy, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The broad, tissue-distributing jaws permit secure control of delicate lung tissue while minimizing focal pressure and parenchymal injury during dissection, suturing, stapling, or specimen retrieval.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a slender shaft and ring handles with a ratchet lock to permit controlled, sustained grasp without continuous hand tension. The Singley Tuttle lung-grasping jaw geometry is optimized to spread compressive forces across a wider area of lung tissue, reducing the risk of tearing or crush injury. The 23 cm overall length provides reach into the thoracic cavity while retaining tactile feedback for precise tissue manipulation in both open and minimally invasive approaches.
