Heaney Ballentine Hyst. Fcps cvd 1 Tooth 21cm

Clinical Application

Curved Heaney-Ballentine hysterectomy forceps with a single-tooth tip provide secure tissue purchase for open gynecologic procedures. They are principally used to clamp uterine vessels, round ligaments and other pedicles during abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy, to facilitate ligation and achieve temporary hemostasis before definitive vessel ligation or transection. The single tooth improves grip on fibrous tissue and ligatures, reducing slippage when applying ties or passing suture.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry permits access around the uterine body and into the deep pelvis while keeping handles clear of the operative field. The single-tooth tip concentrates clamping force to provide a secure hold on ligamentous or vascular pedicles; the opposing jaw is shaped to distribute pressure and minimize unintended tissue crush. A precision box lock and ratchet allow sustained, locked clamping at a surgeon-selected tension to free an assistant or maintain hemostasis during suturing.
