Rochester Ochsner Fcps str 26cm

Clinical Application

Rochester-Ochsner straight forceps are designed for open surgical procedures where secure, traumatic grasping and reliable tissue control are required. Common applications include general surgery, gynecology, thoracic and soft-tissue procedures for occluding pedicles, clamping heavy or bulky tissue, handling fascia, and providing firm retraction or traction during dissection. The interlocking jaws provide a stable hold on tissue or swaged vessels when temporary or sustained clamping is needed.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft orientation delivers direct axial force for controlled, in-line gripping without torsion, making it useful in exposed operative fields and for approaching pedicles or structures at shallow angles. The ratcheted handle with a box lock permits secure hands-free retention at graduated closure positions, while the interlocking jaw geometry concentrates clamping force into a small contact area to minimize slippage on dense or slippery tissues. The 26 cm length balances reach and manual control for routine open procedures.
