Clinical Application
Designed for intestinal and bowel procedures, this atraumatic Kocher forceps is used to grasp, control and temporarily occlude segments of small or large intestine during resection, anastomosis, enterotomy repair and stoma formation. The atraumatic jaw geometry minimizes serosal and mucosal injury while providing reliable tissue control for exposure and temporary hemostasis of small bleeding points along the bowel wall.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines a Kocher-style form factor with atraumatic jaw geometry to distribute clamping pressure across the contact surface, reducing focal compression and tissue trauma compared with conventional toothed clamps. A ratcheted locking handle allows the surgeon to set and maintain consistent clamping force without continuous manual pressure. The 28 cm length offers additional reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control at the handle.
