Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic capture and temporary retraction of soft tissues, this Duval-style grasper is commonly used in thoracic and general surgery to handle delicate tissues such as lung parenchyma, omentum, bowel serosa, and other soft organs. The broad 25 mm jaw provides secure surface contact for specimen handling and retrieval while minimizing focal pressure that can lead to tissue injury.
Design & Configuration
The fenestrated, 25 mm wide jaws distribute gripping force over a larger area versus toothed forceps, reducing the risk of tissue puncture or crush injury when holding fragile structures. The 23 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and tactile control for open and exposed-cavity procedures, while the box-lock and ring-handle configuration deliver reliable alignment and good surgeon feedback for precise maneuvers.
