Clinical Application
Designed for use in hysterectomy procedures, this straight 1x2-tooth forceps provides secure tissue purchase for grasping uterine tissue, ligating pedicles, and providing controlled traction and counter-traction during dissection. Its jaw pattern is intended to reduce slippage when manipulating soft tissue and sutures, making it suitable for both vaginal and open abdominal approaches where reliable tissue control is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry offers a direct line of action that aids controlled traction and tactile feedback during tissue handling. The 1x2 tooth configuration delivers a focused grip: the single opposing tooth engages tissue while the paired teeth disperse holding forces to minimize unintended rotation or slippage. A 20 cm working length balances reach and control for typical intraoperative exposure during hysterectomy.
