Clinical Application
This curved Heaney hysterectomy forceps is designed for gynecologic procedures where secure clamping and controlled occlusion of uterine vessels, pedicles, and surrounding connective tissue are required. The 1x1 tooth tip provides a positive purchase on fibrous tissue and suture material, helping to maintain hemostasis during vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy, uterine artery ligation, and other steps of pelvic surgery that require traction or temporary vascular control.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft follows the anatomic contour of the cervix and lower uterine segment, allowing the jaws to be applied around pedicles and vessels with improved line-of-sight and access in confined pelvic spaces. The single-tooth opposing tip pattern delivers concentrated grip for secure hold on fibrous tissue and ligatures. A locking mechanism common to surgical forceps permits controlled occlusion and hands-free maintenance of clamp pressure while suturing or applying ligatures.
