Clinical Application
Designed for open gynecologic procedures, particularly radical or total hysterectomy (Wertheim-type) cases, this forceps provides a secure means of grasping uterine tissue, cervix, and associated pedicles during mobilization, ligation, and dissection. The 1x2 tooth jaw pattern allows the instrument to maintain purchase on soft tissue and small vascular bundles while facilitating controlled traction, blunt dissection, and exposure in the pelvic field.
Design & Configuration
The asymmetric 1x2 tooth configuration delivers a focused bite with interlocking teeth that resist slippage on moist or friable tissue, improving control during traction and suturing. At 22 cm overall length, the forceps balances intra‑abdominal reach and maneuverability—long enough to access deep pelvic structures while remaining compact for fine tissue handling near the operative site. The jaw geometry is optimized to concentrate gripping force at the tooth interface, reducing the need for excessive compression of surrounding tissue.
