Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 21cm Fig.5

Clinical Application

This long-shaft figure-5 forceps is intended for atraumatic grasping and controlled manipulation of small tubular structures, sutures, and tissue in procedures that require deep access. Its geometry is well suited to blunt dissection, vessel isolation and handling during vascular, thoracic and general surgical cases, and for passing or retrieving suture material through tunnels or confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The figure-5 jaw geometry provides narrow, closely apposed contact surfaces that allow secure, low‑trauma handling of vessels and delicate tissue. The 21 cm shaft length increases reach into deeper cavities while preserving tactile feedback and control at the tips. The elongated profile helps the operator work across anatomic planes without excessive retraction, and the ergonomic handle design enables precise finger control for delicate maneuvers.
