Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 21cm Fig.6

Clinical Application

Long, slender ring-handled forceps with a Fig. 6 working profile provide controlled, atraumatic grasping and blunt dissection in confined operative fields. The 21 cm length offers reach into deeper cavities encountered in thoracic and vascular cases as well as general surgery, facilitating tasks such as controlled vessel manipulation, tissue retraction in narrow corridors, passing sutures through soft tissues, and retrieval of small specimens or foreign bodies.

Design & Configuration

The elongated shaft and tapered tips concentrate clamping force at a fine footprint for precise fingertip control while minimizing tissue trauma. Ring handles permit familiar two-handed control and are compatible with standard locking (ratchet-style) techniques used to maintain tension or occlusion during delicate maneuvers. The Fig. 6 profile denotes a specific jaw geometry intended to balance reach, visibility and atraumatic contact during blunt dissection and grasping tasks.
