Clinical Application
Right-angled hemostatic forceps with a 90-degree bend are used to gain controlled vascular access and perform blunt dissection in confined or deep operative fields. This configuration facilitates placement of clamps around vessels, ducts, or tissue pedicles when a straight instrument would obstruct the line of sight. Common applications include general, vascular, thoracic, gynecologic, and gastrointestinal procedures for temporary vessel occlusion, suture ligation, and passing ties around structures.
Design & Configuration
The 90-degree angle provides improved reach and visibility around and under structures, allowing the jaws to approach a vessel perpendicular to the operative plane. A tapered tip enables precise placement in narrow spaces, while serrated jaw faces deliver secure grip on soft tissue and vessels to minimize slippage during ligation. The locking mechanism maintains consistent compression without continuous hand pressure, freeing the surgeon to manipulate other instruments or place sutures.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Hemostatic forceps (right-angled)
- Pattern / model: Mixter (90-degree)
- Configuration: Right-angled shaft for deep or circumferential access
- Tip / jaw pattern: Tapered, serrated jaw faces for grasping small-to-medium vessels
