Kocher Nippon Hemostatic Fcps str 14cm

Clinical Application

Straight Kocher (Ochsner) hemostatic forceps with a transverse-toothed tip provide a firm, interlocking grip for controlling bleeding from larger vessels and for handling dense or slippery tissues. Commonly used in general, abdominal, thoracic, orthopedic and gynecologic procedures, these forceps are indicated when secure purchase is required—for example, clamping the pedicle of a vessel, holding fascia during closure, or grasping tendon and dense connective tissue. Because the tip is toothed and firmly locking, avoid use on friable or delicate structures where atraumatic handling is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry delivers direct access and tactile feedback along the instrument axis, beneficial for superficial to moderately deep sites. The Kocher-style transverse tooth at the jaw tip provides positive engagement with tissue to prevent slippage under tension. A ratchet locking mechanism allows the assistant or surgeon to maintain a constant clamp pressure without continuous hand effort. The 14 cm length balances reach and control for common operative fields.
