Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 21cm Fig.1

Clinical Application

This long-handled figure‑1 forceps is intended for atraumatic grasping and manipulation of soft tissue, controlled blunt dissection, and for passing sutures, drains or small instruments in deeper operative fields. Its 21 cm length provides reach for thoracic and vascular exposures as well as deeper head & neck and general surgical cavities where a secure, non-crushing hold and fine control are required.

Design & Configuration

The figure‑1 configuration denotes a specific jaw alignment designed to optimize access and line-of-sight when working along tubular structures or in confined corridors. The extended 21 cm shank increases reach while maintaining tactile feedback at the tips, supporting precise fingertip control during delicate maneuvers such as vessel handling, tissue retraction or suture transfer.
