Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic grasping of delicate tissues, this Duval-style tissue forceps is commonly used in thoracic and general surgical procedures to handle lung parenchyma, pleura, and other soft viscera. Its broad, fenestrated jaws provide secure purchase while minimizing focal pressure, making it useful for tissue manipulation, atraumatic retraction, specimen handling, and temporary stabilization during dissection.
Design & Configuration
The broad, fenestrated Duval jaw geometry distributes compressive forces across a larger surface area to reduce tissue trauma compared with narrow-toothed forceps. A 7 mm jaw width provides a balance between secure grip and fine control in confined operative fields. At 14.5 cm overall length, the instrument offers sufficient reach for intrathoracic and intraabdominal work while preserving tactile feedback for precise tissue handling.
