Clinical Application
Long-shaft retrieval forceps intended for controlled grasping and removal of foreign bodies and small tissue fragments in airway and upper aerodigestive tract procedures. The 60 cm working length provides access for use during rigid bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy and in ENT procedures where extended reach is required. Common clinical uses include extraction of aspirated objects, removal of obstructing debris, and targeted retrieval during endoscopic or open airway interventions.
Design & Configuration
The extended 60 cm rigid shaft permits deep access into the tracheobronchial tree or pharyngeal space while maintaining tactile feedback at the handle. A long, straight geometry facilitates passage through rigid scopes and direct-line visualization, reducing the need for repeated scope exchanges. The handles are configured to allow precise single-handed manipulation for controlled grasp and release during delicate airway work.
