Crafoord Artery Fcps cvd 18cm

Clinical Application

This curved Crafoord artery forceps is designed to provide atraumatic occlusion of small-to-medium blood vessels and reliable hemostasis during dissection, vessel ligation, and suturing. Its geometry is suitable for procedures where controlled clamping in a confined field or around tissue contours is required—common in general surgery, vascular procedures, and soft-tissue operations where precise vessel control reduces bleeding and improves visualization.

Design & Configuration

The curved configuration allows approach to vessels at an angle, improving line-of-sight and access behind structures compared with straight instruments. At 18 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach with tactile control for delicate manipulation. A fine-shank profile and narrow jaws enable use in tighter operative sites, while the locking ratchet secures sustained occlusion without continuous hand pressure, facilitating suturing and vessel ligation.
