Clinical Application
Designed for secure mechanical occlusion and crushing of vascular structures and soft-tissue pedicles where permanent hemostasis is required. Commonly used during gynecologic, general, and select vascular procedures to control medium to large vessels and ligated pedicles prior to division. Because the jaws exert a crushing action, this instrument is appropriate when vessel repair is not planned and permanent occlusion is acceptable.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry facilitates access around anatomical structures and improves visualization when working deep in the pelvis or abdominal cavity. A 21 cm working length provides extended reach through open incisions while preserving tactile control at the handle. The forceps employ interlocking ratchet control to maintain sustained compression on the pedicle without continuous manual force, and the broad crushing surfaces distribute compressive force to produce secure occlusion.
