McQuigg Mixter Artery Fcps 22cm

Clinical Application

This right-angle artery forceps is intended for atraumatic vessel control and for passing ligatures or tapes around vascular and tubular structures in open surgical procedures. Its geometry makes it useful in general surgery, vascular procedures, gynecology, urology and other specialties where access around anatomic structures is limited. The instrument facilitates safe clamping of small-to-medium vessels and enables controlled blunt dissection in deep or narrow operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The Mixter (right-angle) configuration provides a 90-degree tip offset that allows surgeons to approach vessels and structures from lateral or posterior angles without extensive retraction. The 22 cm overall length increases reach into deeper operative sites while preserving tactile control at the jaw. The slender, angulated profile helps create a secure pathway for passing suture, ligature, or vessel loops around structures where a straight clamp cannot be positioned safely.
