Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic procedures, this curved Heaney hysterectomy forceps is used to grasp, clamp and secure uterine tissue and vascular pedicles during vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy procedures. The 2x2 tooth jaw pattern provides reliable purchase on tissue and ligature without excessive slippage, facilitating secure control of the uterine arteries, round ligaments, and vaginal cuff during dissection and ligation.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft follows the pelvic and vaginal axis to improve line-of-sight and reach in deep or confined operative fields. The 2x2 tooth configuration at the tip gives positive, localized gripping power for soft tissue and sutures, helping prevent rotation or slippage under traction. Ring handles with a ratchet-style locking mechanism (standard for ring forceps) permit sustained clamping pressure while freeing the surgeon’s hands for other tasks.
