Collin Tongue Holding Fcps 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to secure and stabilize the tongue during ENT, oral and airway procedures, this Collin-pattern tongue-holding instrument provides controlled traction for improved exposure of the oropharynx. Typical applications include direct laryngoscopy, assisted intubation, oral cavity procedures, biopsies and intraoperative retraction where a firm, reliable grasp of the tongue is required without the need for continuous manual holding.

Design & Configuration

The long 17 cm shank places the working tip well into the oral cavity while keeping the operator’s hands clear of the field. The Collin pattern employs narrow, atraumatic jaws shaped to distribute grip force across the tongue tissue, and a ratcheting locking handle permits hands-free maintenance of traction. The slim profile minimizes obstruction to visualization and instrument access during procedures.
