Collin Tongue Holding Fcps 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed to secure and stabilize the tongue during procedures that require unobstructed access to the oral cavity and oropharynx. Common uses include airway management, intraoral surgery, tonsillectomy assistance, maxillofacial procedures, and endoscopic/ENT cases where controlled retraction of the tongue improves visualization. The instrument provides a reliable grip for temporary traction, positioning, and suturing tasks without the need for additional retractors.

Design & Configuration

The long-shank geometry places the clinician's hand well outside the surgical field while delivering the distal jaw directly to the target tissue. Tongue-holding jaws are shaped to provide a secure, atraumatic hold on soft tissue to minimize slippage during manipulation. The compact distal profile helps maintain visualization and access in confined oral and pharyngeal spaces; the overall length balances reach with tactile control for precise manipulation.
