Clinical Application
Designed for hemostatic control in tonsillectomy and other oropharyngeal procedures, this instrument provides secure clamping of small-to-medium vessels and soft tissue in the confined surgical field of the oropharynx. It is used to occlude bleeding points, hold ligatures, and stabilize tissue during dissection and suture placement.
Design & Configuration
The vertical orientation places the jaws in line with the handles for a direct approach to vessels inside the mouth and throat, improving access in a deep or narrow operating field. At 18 cm overall length the long shanks give additional reach while maintaining precise control at the tips. The ratchet locking mechanism permits sustained compression without continuous manual force, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain hemostasis while performing other tasks.
