Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure hemostasis of medium-to-large vessels and reliable tissue control during open procedures. The curved Moynihan artery forceps is commonly used in general, abdominal, gynecologic and vascular surgery for vessel occlusion prior to ligation, blunt dissection, and for atraumatic grasping of bulky tissue. Its geometry allows reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback for precise clamping.
Design & Configuration
The curved profile positions the jaws around vessels and tissue planes with improved line-of-sight and access compared with straight forceps. The Moynihan pattern features robust, elongated jaws that distribute pressure across the clamp face to secure vessels without excessive localized crushing. A ratchet locking mechanism enables sustained occlusion during suture ligation or when hands-free control is required. The 14.5 cm length balances reach into cavities with control at the fingertips for fine manipulation.
