Lovelace Lung Grasp Fcps 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of lung parenchyma, this instrument is used to grasp, retract and stabilize pulmonary tissue during thoracic procedures. Common applications include mobilization and exposure during open thoracotomy and limited-access thoracic cases where controlled, delicate manipulation of lung tissue is required. The jaw geometry minimizes crush injury to friable parenchyma while providing a secure hold for dissection, stapling and selective retraction.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s elongated 20 cm shaft balances reach into the thoracic cavity with preservation of tactile feedback, making it suitable for both adult open procedures and limited-access approaches. Atraumatic lung-grasping jaws distribute contact pressure across a broader surface area to reduce localized tissue trauma. The handheld configuration gives direct control for precise repositioning of lung segments during dissection, stapling or specimen delivery.
