St. George's Seizing Fcps (McGivney) 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for firm grasping and manipulation of soft tissues and suture during open surgical procedures. The instrument is suited for tissue traction, handling of fascia and subcutaneous tissue, and temporary control of small structures while preparing ligatures or placing sutures. Its mid-range length makes it appropriate for general surgery, minor procedures in ambulatory surgery centers, and intraoperative use where precise, secure tissue control is required.

Design & Configuration

The McGivney-style St. George's seizing configuration focuses on direct, reliable purchase of tissue. The seizing (serrated) jaws provide positive grip to minimize slip when holding slippery or mobile tissues. An 18.5 cm overall length delivers mid-range reach and tactile feedback, allowing the operator to maintain control in confined fields without excessive shaft length that can reduce manual sensitivity.
