Clinical Application
Forceps designed to position and apply preformed vessel clips to occlude small-to-medium vessels and ducts during operative procedures. Commonly used in general, vascular, gynecologic, thoracic and ENT procedures where rapid, reliable hemostasis is required. These clip-setting forceps enable precise placement of metallic or polymer ligating clips, reducing the need for suture ligation in routine vessel control.
Design & Configuration
The 18 cm length provides a balance of reach and tactile control for both superficial and moderate-depth work. A locking (ratchet) handle secures the instrument closed while the clip is positioned and crimped, allowing the operator to maintain steady pressure without continuous grip force. The tip is configured to hold and align preformed clips, facilitating perpendicular placement to the vessel and consistent clip closure. Ring handles and a slim shaft profile support fine motor manipulation in confined operative fields.
