Clinical Application
Designed for secure handling of dense soft tissues during open surgical procedures, this downward-angulated Ferris-Smith Lami-Rong forceps is useful for grasping fascia, muscle and subcutaneous tissue where a broad, firm bite is required. The downward tip orientation facilitates access to deep or recessed work fields, making it practical in general surgery, orthopedics, plastic/reconstructive procedures and other specialties that require controlled traction or retraction of heavy tissue.
Design & Configuration
The downward angulation places the working tip on an offset plane from the handle, improving approach angle to tissues in deeper pockets without excessive wrist pronation. A 3 x 10 mm tip footprint provides a broad contact area to distribute pressure and reduce tissue slippage while maintaining a secure hold. The 18 cm overall length balances reach into the operative field with tactile control at the handle for precise manipulation.
