Martel Scalp Flap Fcps 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure handling and controlled retraction of scalp flaps, this instrument is used during scalp incisions, flap elevation, wound closure and soft-tissue manipulation in neurosurgery, craniofacial and reconstructive procedures. The 14 cm length provides sufficient reach for adult cranial exposures while preserving tactile feedback for delicate tissue handling.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action thumb-forceps configuration permits single-handed, precise control of soft tissue during flap elevation and suturing. The overall length balances reach and dexterity at the operative field, reducing the need to shift hand position during longer procedures. Fine, narrow jaws concentrate contact force into a small area for accurate grasping and controlled traction while minimizing unnecessary bulk in the wound.
