Gross Maier D/Fcps cvd S/J w/ratchet 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled tissue handling where a sustained, secure grip is required, this curved ratcheting forceps is used to grasp and apply traction to soft or dense tissues, hold suture ends, and maintain exposure during dissection and wound closure. The curved profile aids access and line-of-sight in confined operative fields and when working around contours.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry places the jaws at an angle to the shaft, improving visibility and approach to tissues located below or around structures. A ratchet locking mechanism permits the instrument to hold tissue without continuous hand pressure, reducing fatigue and enabling the assistant or surgeon to maintain traction while performing other tasks. The overall 18 cm length balances working reach with tactile control at the handles.
