Rochester Ochsner Fcps str 28cm

Clinical Application

Rochester Ochsner straight forceps are a traumatic clamp intended to obtain a firm purchase on dense tissues and surgical materials. Their design is commonly used in general, abdominal and gynecologic procedures to grasp fascia, hold soft-tissue margins, secure surgical sponges or towels, and to maintain traction during suturing and dissection. Because the jaws provide a lockable, positive grip, these forceps are used when secure, sustained hold is required on tissues that tolerate a firm grasp.

Design & Configuration

The straight 28 cm shaft provides extended reach into deeper cavities while maintaining manual control at the handles. A ratchet mechanism on the handle lets the surgeon lock the jaws at incremental tensions for sustained traction without continuous hand force. The interlocking, traumatic jaw geometry creates a dependable grip on thick or slippery tissue and on surgical materials (sutures, towels, sponges), reducing the need to reposition instruments during a case.
