Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, atraumatic grip on peritoneal and soft abdominal tissues, this forceps is used for tissue manipulation, retraction, and temporary holding during open abdominal, general surgery, colorectal, and gynecologic procedures. The 1x2 tooth jaw offers interlocking engagement to minimize slippage when handling delicate structures such as omentum, mesentery, fascia, and peritoneal edges.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth configuration delivers a precise, point‑to‑point engagement: one prong on one jaw nests between two prongs on the opposing jaw for a stable grip with reduced compressive spread across tissue. The 18 cm length balances reach and tactile control for use at the operative field without excessive shaft flex. The jaw geometry focuses gripping force at the teeth to reduce lateral slipping while avoiding broad crushing of fragile tissues.
