Mixter O' Shaugnessy Fcps cvd 19cm

Clinical Application

Right-angle forceps provide controlled access to vessels, pedicles and tissues that lie deep or around structures where a straight instrument cannot reach. This curved Mixter/O'Shaughnessy pattern is used to pass suture or vessel loops behind arteries, veins and ductal structures, to place clamps or ties, and for blunt dissection in tight anatomical planes. Common clinical settings include vascular, general, thoracic, urology and gynecologic procedures where circumferential control or transposition of ligatures is required.

Design & Configuration

The 90-degree bent jaw geometry permits a lateral approach to structures with minimal tissue retraction. The curved/right-angle configuration allows the surgeon to work around corners and behind vessels while maintaining a clear view of the operative field. Ring handles and a ratcheted box-lock provide secure control and incremental clamping force, and serrated jaw faces maintain grip on suture, vessel loops or small tissue bundles during passage or ligation.
