Collin Duval Tissue Fcps 18mm jaws 20cm

Clinical Application

Duval-style tissue forceps are designed to provide a broad, secure hold on soft tissue without concentrated pressure points. This configuration is commonly used to grasp lung parenchyma, bowel, or other friable tissues during open thoracic, general, and trauma procedures where a firm but atraumatic grip is required. The 18 mm jaw width supplies a wide contact area to minimize tissue crush while maintaining reliable control during manipulation and retraction.

Design & Configuration

The broad Duval-style jaws combine a wide contact surface and interlocking geometry (typical of the Duval pattern) to distribute gripping forces across a larger area, reducing localized trauma to delicate tissues. At 20 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and tactile control, allowing the surgeon to work comfortably in deeper cavities without sacrificing precision at the tip. The handpiece geometry is optimized for secure manual operation and controlled handling during repeated tasks such as atraumatic retraction and temporary tissue stabilization.
