Lockwood Allis Intestinal Tissue Fcps 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure atraumatic handling of bowel and other soft tissues during intra-abdominal procedures. Commonly used in general and colorectal surgery for mobilization, retraction and temporary holding of intestinal segments during resections, anastomosis and exposure. The toothed interlocking jaws provide a firm grip to minimize slip when manipulating tubular viscera; clinicians should avoid prolonged clamping of very fragile or ischemic tissues to reduce trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Allis-style interlocking geometry concentrates grip at multiple small contact points to achieve a secure hold without requiring excessive manual force. A ratchet handle lets the surgeon set and maintain clamp pressure for hands-free retraction during dissection or exposure. The 20 cm length offers a balance of reach and control for most abdominal operative fields, permitting comfortable handling within the wound while maintaining tactile feedback.
