Duval Grasping Fcps 13mm wide, 20cm

Clinical Application

Duval-style grasping forceps with a 13 mm wide jaw and 20 cm overall length are designed to provide a secure, atraumatic hold on soft, friable tissues. Commonly used in thoracic and open abdominal cases, these forceps are useful for grasping lung parenchyma, bowel, omentum and other viscera during exposure, retraction and tissue retrieval. The broad fenestrated jaws help distribute pressure across a larger surface area to reduce focal tissue compression while maintaining secure purchase on slippery structures, making them useful for intraoperative handling and removal of small specimens or foreign material.

Design & Configuration

The Duval configuration features broad, fenestrated jaws that provide multidirectional contact with tissue to reduce slippage without serrated teeth. A 13 mm jaw width increases the contact area for gentle control of delicate structures, and the 20 cm length gives adequate reach into deeper chest and abdominal cavities while maintaining tactile feedback for precise manipulation. The jaw geometry balances grip security with atraumatic handling, supporting safe tissue control during dissection, retraction or specimen retrieval.
