Mixter Hemostatic Bronchus Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for thoracic procedures that require controlled clamping and blunt dissection around bronchial structures and adjacent vascular pedicles. The right-angle jaw is used to isolate and occlude the bronchus or small pulmonary vessels, to pass ligatures or vessel loops around tubular structures, and to obtain focal hemostasis in confined or deep operative fields such as during lobectomy, bronchoplasty, bronchial stump control, mediastinal dissection, and selected airway procedures.

Design & Configuration

The right-angle (Mixter) geometry permits approach to structures around, behind, or beneath tissue planes where a straight instrument would be awkward or obstruct the view. The 18 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile control for open thoracic exposure, enabling the surgeon to work within the thoracic cavity without excessive shaft bulk. A ratcheted handle and box-lock provide secure, adjustable clamping pressure for temporary vessel or bronchial occlusion and stable retention of ligatures while sutures are placed.
