Clinical Application
Designed for proctologic procedures, these forceps are used to grasp, retract and stabilize haemorrhoidal tissue and mucosa during evaluation and operative management. The 21 cm length provides reach into the anal canal and rectal vault while permitting controlled traction and tissue manipulation during haemorrhoidectomy, excision, or ligation procedures performed in clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospitals.
Design & Configuration
The S/J configuration combines shaft geometry and jaw orientation intended to improve access and visualization in a confined surgical field. The 21 cm shaft balances working length with tactile control at the handle, allowing the surgeon to position and mobilize tissue without excessive hand fatigue. The forceps’ profile and jaw alignment facilitate precise tissue approximation and maintenance of grip during instrument exchanges.
