Duval Grasp Fcps 13mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

Duval-style grasping forceps provide broad, atraumatic purchase for temporarily holding and retracting soft tissues during exposure, manipulation, and specimen handling. Their design is commonly used in thoracic procedures to handle lung parenchyma, and in general and trauma surgery when a wide, non-cutting grip is needed to reduce focal tissue pressure. They are intended for temporary tissue control, retraction, and atraumatic handling rather than definitive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The Duval jaw geometry delivers a broad contact surface that disperses pressure across tissue, minimizing point-loading and reducing the risk of crush injury. A 13 mm jaw width gives sufficient surface area for secure, atraumatic grasping of delicate organs and soft tissue. The 23 cm overall length provides reach into thoracic and abdominal cavities while maintaining tactile feedback and control. The straightforward, single-shaft configuration supports reliable alignment of the jaws and easy instrument handling during exposure and retrieval tasks.
