Wickstrom Bronchus Artery Fcps 21cm

Clinical Application

Precision hemostatic control of bronchial and bronchus-associated vessels during thoracic procedures. Commonly used during lobectomy, pneumonectomy, bronchoplasty, sleeve resection, airway repair, and open or assisted thoracoscopic exposures when temporary or definitive vascular control of bronchial branches is required. The 21 cm length provides additional reach to access hilar structures and deeper pulmonary targets while maintaining tactile control for vessel ligation and dissection.

Design & Configuration

Configured as a dedicated artery forceps with a ratchet locking handle to provide secure, sustained compression of vessels. The instrument’s length balances reach into the thoracic cavity with manual control at the handle, allowing the surgeon to clamp bronchial branches at the hilum or along segmental bronchi without excessive hand fatigue. Narrow shaft geometry and a precise tip profile facilitate placement into confined mediastinal and hilar spaces and allow controlled tissue handling during delicate dissection and hemostasis.
