Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling and retraction of peritoneal tissue during open abdominal procedures. Commonly used in general, colorectal and gynecologic surgery to elevate, expose and manipulate the peritoneum and adjacent delicate tissues during dissection, inspection and layer closure. The instrument's geometry supports precise tissue control while minimizing crushing injury to serosal surfaces.
Design & Configuration
The elongated 20 cm shaft provides reach into deeper abdominal cavities while maintaining tactile control at the operator's hand. The Mikulicz-style jaws are engineered to distribute contact force over a broader surface area to reduce focal tissue compression, improving atraumatic handling of thin peritoneal layers. The S/J designation denotes the forceps' specific jaw and shank configuration optimized for peritoneal work, offering secure grasping with fine control for delicate maneuvers.
