Clinical Application
Designed for use during radical gynecologic procedures, particularly the Wertheim radical hysterectomy, this heavy curved forceps is intended for atraumatic clamping and temporary occlusion of uterine vessels, parametrial tissue and other pelvic pedicles. The geometry facilitates access to deep pelvic and lateral parametrial regions, enabling secure control of vascular and connective tissue structures prior to ligation or division.
Design & Configuration
The heavy, curved configuration delivers increased mechanical advantage and a broad jaw contact area for dependable tissue and vessel compression in the deep pelvis. The curvature helps align the jaws with pelvic sidewall structures and working angles encountered in open abdominal radical hysterectomy, improving reach and visibility while minimizing the need for excessive retraction.
