Lockwood Allis Intestinal Tissue Fcps 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure temporary grasping of intestinal tissue during open abdominal surgery. Common uses include providing traction and exposure during bowel resection, exteriorization of bowel segments, delivery of the intestine through incisions, and controlled tissue handling during anastomosis. The Allis jaw pattern provides a firm hold for tissues that require reliable traction or positioning; because the grasp is relatively traumatic, it is best used on serosa or tissues planned for resection, and clamping time should be minimized to preserve tissue viability.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features the Allis-style jaw geometry—short, interlocking serrations that engage tissue securely—and a ratcheting ring-handle mechanism to maintain grip without continuous manual force. At 16 cm overall length the forceps balance reach and tactile control, making them suitable for standard open abdominal exposure and shorter reach intra-abdominal tasks. The box-lock hinge provides durable alignment and consistent jaw approximation for repeated use.
