Mixter O' Shaugnessy Fcps 15.5cm

Clinical Application

Right-angle forceps are used to reach around and behind structures in confined operative fields where a straight instrument cannot access safely. This pattern is routinely employed to pass ligatures or vessel loops around vascular pedicles, to retrieve or position drains and tubes, and to perform controlled blunt dissection along planes adjacent to vessels, ducts, or nerves. The 15.5 cm length balances reach and tactile control for use in abdominal, thoracic, vascular, urologic and head & neck procedures.

Design & Configuration

The 90° angled jaw provides lateral access to structures while keeping the operator's hand clear of the line of dissection. Slender, right-angle jaws permit atraumatic passage of suture or tape around structures and allow blunt spreading in tight spaces. Ring handles with a box lock and ratchet permit secure clamping and repeatable control of closure force, important when holding vessels or threading ligatures.
