Nelson Lung Grasping Fcps 6x7T 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in thoracic surgery, this lung grasping forceps provides controlled traction and retraction of pulmonary parenchyma during open and minimally invasive procedures (including VATS). The 6x7 tooth jaw pattern helps secure delicate lung tissue for manipulation, dissection, staple line placement, or temporary stabilization while minimizing slip during instrument exchange.

Design & Configuration

The 6x7T jaw configuration uses an asymmetric tooth pattern to concentrate holding force at defined contact points, improving purchase on soft, friable lung tissue without relying on broad compressive surfaces. The 23 cm shaft length gives appropriate working reach for intrathoracic access while maintaining tactile control at the handle. This geometry supports precise one-handed positioning and atraumatic handling when used with proper surgical technique.
