Rochester Ochsner Fcps str 14cm

Clinical Application

Rochester Ochsner forceps in a straight 14 cm configuration are used to securely grasp and hold relatively large, dense, or slippery tissue during open surgical procedures. Their toothed, serrated jaws provide a firm purchase for manipulating fascia, grasping uterine or bowel tissue, securing packs, or temporarily occluding tissue bundles during dissection and exposure. They are intended for general and abdominal surgery where a robust, non-delicate grip is required — not for microsurgical or fine vascular work.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry delivers direct line-of-sight access and controlled axial force transfer, useful for exposing operative fields and delivering predictable tip alignment. Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism allow the instrument to maintain grip at selectable tension levels, freeing an assistant’s hand and facilitating hemostasis or retraction. The serrated, toothed jaw pattern resists slippage in wet fields and when handling tough tissue, reducing the need for repeated repositioning.
