Kocher Intestinal Fcps Atrauma 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for temporary occlusion and atraumatic handling of intestinal tissue during open gastrointestinal procedures. This Kocher intestinal forceps is used to clamp bowel segments for resection, anastomosis, or inspection, and to provide hemostatic control of small mesenteric branches while minimizing serosal crushing. Its atraumatic jaw profile is intended to reduce localized tissue injury compared with more aggressive tooth patterns.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a ratcheting lock to maintain consistent clamping pressure without continuous manual force, allowing the assistant or primary surgeon to position and secure bowel segments safely. The atraumatic jaw geometry increases the contact area across the tissue, distributing pressure and reducing the risk of focal ischemia or tearing. The 22 cm overall length offers balanced reach and control for most open abdominal exposures while staying compact enough for routine handling on the instrument tray.
