Clinical Application
Designed for use in hysterectomy and related pelvic procedures, this straight surgical forceps provides secure tissue purchase for handling uterine tissue, ligaments and vascular pedicles. The 1x2 tooth tip pattern offers focused, asymmetric engagement that improves hold on soft tissue while minimizing slippage during traction, ligation, or suturing. It is appropriate for open and vaginal gynecologic approaches where controlled grasping and reliable handling are required.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry delivers direct-line access to the operative field and is useful for working in the deep pelvis or along the vaginal canal, where a neutral shaft alignment reduces the need to reposition surrounding tissue. The 1x2 tooth configuration provides a single opposing tooth on one jaw and two teeth on the other, creating a stable three-point contact that enhances grip without excessive crushing of delicate tissue. A 20 cm shaft length balances reach and control for most gynecologic operative exposures.
