Clinical Application
Designed for controlled grasping and reflection of the peritoneum during open abdominal and pelvic procedures, including general surgery and gynecologic operations. The angular orientation facilitates elevation of peritoneal flaps, hold‑back of tissue during dissection or suturing, and temporary stabilization of peritoneal edges while working in the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The angular jaw orientation provides an offset approach to tissue planes, improving access in deep or narrow operative sites and minimizing instrument interference with the surgeon’s line of sight. The geometry helps maintain a consistent grip on thin peritoneal tissue while allowing the shaft to clear adjacent instruments and retractors, which is advantageous when creating flaps or performing layered closures.
