Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic surgeons and operative teams, this curved Heaney hysterectomy forceps is intended to clamp, compress, and secure uterine vessels and surrounding pedicles during partial or total hysterectomy and related pelvic procedures. The single-tooth jaw profile provides a focused grip to control small-to-medium caliber vessels and tissue bundles while minimizing slippage, aiding safe ligation and division in the confined anatomy of the pelvis.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft and tip geometry permit circumferential access around the uterine corpus and lateral pedicles, improving visualization and instrument positioning in deep or narrow operative fields. A ratcheted locking handle maintains consistent clamping pressure without continuous manual force, allowing the assistant or surgeon to secure a pedicle while sutures or clips are placed. The 1x1 tooth configuration offers an effective balance between secure tissue purchase and controlled tissue trauma—useful when a precise bite is required on vascular pedicles or connective tissue.
