Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic occlusion and handling of blood vessels, this curved Potts forceps is used to temporarily control blood flow during vascular repair, anastomosis, bypass, and other cardiovascular and general surgical procedures. Its atraumatic jaw geometry is intended to minimize endothelial injury while providing reliable vessel control for precise dissection and suturing in confined operative fields.
Design & Configuration
The curved configuration provides improved access to posterior and deep-seated vessels and allows the surgeon to approach vessels at an angle that maintains a clear line of sight and working space. The atraumatic jaw design distributes compressive forces across the vessel wall to reduce focal trauma and preserve intimal integrity, which is important when preparing vessels for anastomosis or repair.
