Clinical Application
Broad, atraumatic Duval jaws with a 25 mm tip are optimized to secure fragile tissues—most commonly lung parenchyma—without concentrated pressure that can cause tearing. The instrument is suited for thoracic procedures (e.g., pulmonary resections, mediastinal exposure), chest cavity exploration, and general surgical situations where a wide, secure, low‑pressure grasp is required for delicate or friable soft tissue.
Design & Configuration
The Duval-style jaw provides a wide, fenestrated contact surface that increases tissue contact area and reduces point-loading on delicate structures. A 25 mm tip width balances secure hold with atraumatic handling, while the 20 cm length provides access to the chest cavity and deeper operative fields from a comfortable working distance. The jaw geometry permits reliable retraction and temporary holding of tissue while minimizing crush injury.
