Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 21cm Fig.3

Clinical Application

Long-shank forceps with a Figure 3 tip profile designed to reach and manipulate tissue in deeper anatomic cavities where short instruments lack access. Common applications include controlled retrieval of tissue or foreign bodies, blunt dissection and atraumatic grasping of delicate structures during procedures that require extended reach (for example, thoracic windows, deep pelvic exposure, and other general or specialty operative fields).

Design & Configuration

The extended 21 cm shank provides additional working length to access deep operative sites while maintaining manual control at the handle. The Figure 3 tip pattern is a manufacturer-defined jaw geometry that promotes secure, controlled tissue handling with a narrow profile to preserve visualization in confined spaces. The overall geometry balances reach, tactile feedback and maneuverability for precise intraoperative manipulation.
