Clinical Application
Designed to securely and atraumatically grasp intestinal tissue, these holding forceps are used during abdominal procedures where controlled manipulation of bowel is required — for example, during small-bowel or colon resection, anastomosis, repair of perforations, or exposure during exploratory laparotomy. The atraumatic jaw profile minimizes serosal injury while providing reliable purchase for tissue retraction, elevation, and temporary stabilization.
Design & Configuration
The 21 cm overall length balances intra-abdominal reach with operator control at the wound edge, making the instrument suitable for both open and limited-access abdominal procedures. Ring handles with a locking ratchet permit hands-free tissue stabilization once the optimized position is achieved. The fenestrated, atraumatic jaws distribute pressure across the serosal surface to reduce local trauma while maintaining a secure grip on mobile intestinal segments.
