Gross Maier D/Fcps cvd S/J w/ratchet 20cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure tissue control and temporary occlusion in open surgical procedures where a reliable, locking grasp is required. Commonly used for retraction, controlled traction, and holding of soft tissue during general, abdominal and gastrointestinal cases. The locking ratchet preserves grip without continuous manual pressure, freeing the assistant and improving operative field control.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile enables access around anatomical contours and facilitates visualization in deeper operative sites. A ratchet/locking mechanism on the shank allows the instrument to maintain a set degree of closure for sustained tissue control. The Gross Maier pattern yields a jaw geometry optimized for secure engagement and predictable clamping force, while a 20 cm length balances reach and intraoperative handling.
