Clinical Application
Long, half-curved thoracic forceps designed for use in open chest and mediastinal procedures. The geometry and length provide reach into deep pleural spaces and around pulmonary hilum structures, making the instrument useful for passing sutures or ligatures, controlling small vessels, and manipulating soft tissue during lobectomy, decortication, thymectomy, or chest wall surgery.
Design & Configuration
The half-curved profile permits angled approach around ribs, bronchovascular bundles, and other confined thoracic anatomy while maintaining a controlled line of sight for the operator. At 23 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach with tactile control—long enough to access deeper cavities but short enough to preserve manual precision. The forceps geometry facilitates secure tissue engagement and predictable handling when passing sutures or repositioning structures.
