Kocher Intestinal Fcps str 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed for abdominal and gastrointestinal procedures, this Kocher intestinal forceps provides a secure, atraumatically controlled hold on bowel, mesentery, or other soft tissues when a firm grip is required. Common uses include tissue manipulation during bowel resection, retraction during anastomosis, and temporary tissue stabilization while sutures or staples are placed. Because the jaw configuration is intentionally aggressive to prevent slippage, clinicians should avoid use on friable serosal surfaces when minimal tissue trauma is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight 25 cm shaft offers increased reach and tactile control in deep or crowded operative fields. The classic Kocher jaw geometry features interlocking teeth and transverse serrations that resist rotation and slippage under traction. A locking ratchet on the handle permits hands-free retention of tissue at defined tensions, while the straight configuration provides direct alignment for precise manipulation and atraumatic reorientation within the surgical field.
