Clinical Application
Duval tissue forceps provide a wide, fenestrated grasping surface designed for secure, atraumatic handling of delicate tissues. Commonly used to hold lung, bowel, uterus and other soft tissues during thoracic, abdominal and gynecologic procedures, these forceps are valuable for exposure and controlled retraction without concentrated crushing. The broad jaws help distribute pressure across tissue to minimize injury while maintaining reliable purchase during manipulation.
Design & Configuration
The Duval-style fenestrated jaws present multiple contact points and a paddle-like profile that resist tissue slippage while reducing focal compression. A 10 mm working end provides a balance between surface area and profile, facilitating gentle retention of soft tissue. The compact 14.5 cm overall length offers improved control and maneuverability in confined fields or procedures where a shorter shaft is preferred.
