Potts Atraumatic Blood Vessel Fcps str 21.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic control of blood vessels, this Potts-style forceps provides temporary occlusion and delicate handling of small- to medium-caliber vessels during vascular, general, and reconstructive procedures. It is useful for vessel exposure and stabilization during dissection, anastomosis preparation, graft harvesting, and targeted hemostasis where minimizing endothelial trauma is important.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry gives direct alignment between the operator and the vessel, making it well suited for superficial or moderately deep operative fields where a linear approach is required. At 21.5 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach without sacrificing tactile feedback. The atraumatic, fine-jawed tip is shaped to secure vessels with minimal compression of the vessel wall, helping preserve intimal integrity during temporary occlusion and manipulation. Ring handles and a box-lock construction provide precise control and repeatable jaw alignment typical of surgical forceps.
