Overholt-Geissendorfer Fcps 27cm Fig.1

Clinical Application

Long-shank ring forceps designed to provide controlled, atraumatic grasping and blunt dissection in procedures that require extended reach. The 27 cm length is suitable for deep abdominal, thoracic, mediastinal, or pelvic work where access is limited. Common uses include manipulation of small vessels and tissue planes, tissue retraction during exposure, and controlled passage or retrieval of sutures or drains in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

An elongated shaft and ring-handle configuration deliver mechanical advantage and fine control at the tip while keeping hands clear of the operative field. The ratchet lock allows the surgeon to maintain a consistent grip without continuous manual pressure, reducing fatigue during prolonged cases. The length supports access to deep or narrow operative sites and preserves sightlines for assistants and visualization equipment.
