Clinical Application
Designed for secure handling of meniscal fragments and articular cartilage, this forceps facilitates tissue grasping, manipulation, and positioning during meniscal repair, debridement, and cartilage procedures. Its length and jaw geometry make it useful in both focused open exposures and common arthroscopic workflows where controlled grip and atraumatic handling of soft cartilage are required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's 19 cm length provides reach into joint spaces while maintaining tactile control at the handle. Jaw geometry is optimized to capture and hold delicate meniscal and cartilaginous tissue with a stable grip to assist suture placement, reduction, or excision. A compact hand-held configuration supports precise one-handed manipulation and easy transfer between surgical team members.
