Overholt Mixter Fcps 21cm

Clinical Application

Right-angle Mixter forceps provide controlled access around vessels, ducts and tissue planes where a straight instrument cannot reach. The 21 cm length offers mid-to-deep reach for abdominal, thoracic and deep soft-tissue procedures. Common uses include guiding suture or vessel loops around structures for ligation, bluntly dissecting in confined spaces, clamping small vessels or tissues prior to ligation, and retrieving or redirecting sutures during complex closures.

Design & Configuration

The right-angle geometry enables the working tip to approach structures laterally, allowing the surgeon to pass ties or instruments behind vessels and pedicles with minimal exposure. Ring handles with a ratchet lock provide tactile control and secure clamping during tying or transfer of suture. Serrated jaws enhance grip on suture, vessel loops and soft tissue to reduce slippage when working in deep or narrow fields.
