Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 21cm Fig.4

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled atraumatic grasping and blunt dissection in confined or deep operative fields, this forceps is commonly used to handle delicate soft tissue, pass sutures around vessels or structures, and retrieve small objects. The 21 cm length provides reach into cavities while maintaining tactile control, making it suitable for general, vascular, thoracic and ENT procedures where precision and a secure hold are required.

Design & Configuration

The figure‑4 jaw geometry gives a broad, stable contact surface that distributes grasping force to minimize point loading on tissue. Ring handles with an integrated locking ratchet enable sustained closure without continuous hand pressure, and the 21 cm shaft balances reach with maneuverability in deep or narrow exposures. This combination supports atraumatic handling and reliable suture passage in tight operative corridors.
