Lahey Goitre Seizing Fcps 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for endocrine and head & neck surgery, this seizing forceps provides secure tissue purchase for mobilization and traction of the thyroid gland and enlarged goitre tissue. It is used during thyroidectomy and related procedures to grasp lobes, deliver specimens through the wound, control tissue during dissection, and provide stable retraction while preserving surrounding structures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s ring-handle design with a ratchet lock and box lock allows the surgeon to maintain sustained grip without continuous manual pressure, which is useful during atraumatic retraction or when an assistant is not required to hold tension. The 20 cm working length provides appropriate reach for standard cervical exposures while keeping handles accessible outside the wound. Serrated seizing jaws are configured to maximize purchase on soft, glandular tissue, improving control when delivering enlarged thyroid tissue or applying countertraction during dissection.
