Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic grasping and retraction of delicate tissue, this Collin Duval tissue forceps is commonly used in thoracic procedures (lung handling) and general surgery where secure, gentle hold is required. The 27 mm jaws provide a broad, fenestrated contact area that spreads pressure across tissue to reduce focal compression while maintaining reliable purchase during dissection, retraction, and specimen manipulation.
Design & Configuration
The fenestrated Duval-style jaw geometry distributes grip forces to minimize tissue trauma compared with narrow-toothed forceps. At 20 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and control—long enough to access deeper operative fields yet short enough to preserve tactile feedback for precise handling. The jaw size (27 mm) is appropriate for larger, soft tissues such as pulmonary parenchyma, bowel, and other viscera where a broader grasp is preferred.
