Wickstrom Bronchus Artery Fcps 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for thoracic surgical teams, this long-shaft occluding forceps is intended to provide secure temporary control of bronchial and pulmonary arterial structures during pulmonary resections, bronchial repair, and other intrathoracic procedures. The 24 cm length offers extended reach into the chest cavity, facilitating tissue control and hemostasis in deep or confined operative fields encountered in lobectomy, segmentectomy, pneumonectomy, and related open thoracic procedures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's long shaft maximizes reach while maintaining tactile feedback at the jaws, enabling precise positioning on bronchial stumps and small-caliber pulmonary vessels. A ratchet-style handle permits incremental locking pressure and hands-free occlusion, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain control while preparing definitive ligation, stapling, or suturing. The clamp-style jaw geometry is optimized to occlude tubular structures without excessive crushing of adjacent tissue, providing controlled compression for temporary hemostasis.
