Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, low-trauma grip on soft tissue and fascia, this atraumatic Allis forceps is used for grasping and retracting tissues during open surgical procedures. Its low-crush jaw profile permits traction and temporary holding of soft organs, wound edges, or fascial planes while minimizing tissue compression—useful in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and other specialties where gentle tissue handling is required. Not intended for vascular occlusion or as a hemostatic clamp.
Design & Configuration
The ring-handle, ratcheting design allows the instrument to lock in position for hands-free retraction. The 30 cm shaft provides additional reach for deeper operative fields without sacrificing control at the tips. The atraumatic Allis-style jaws distribute pressure across the contact surface to reduce focal crushing while maintaining a reliable hold during manipulation and retraction.
