Clinical Application
This long‑shaft Chevalier Jackson forceps are intended for controlled retrieval of foreign bodies and tissue fragments during airway and upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. The 40 cm shaft provides the reach required for rigid bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy to access central airways and proximal bronchi while maintaining tactile feedback for secure grasping and extraction.
Design & Configuration
A slender, 40 cm working length places the jaws at an appropriate distance for use through rigid endoscopes and for direct laryngoscopy approaches. The long‑shaft geometry allows operators to engage objects located beyond the oral cavity without compromising hand positioning or visualization. The handpiece and shaft balance are arranged to provide precise tip control and reliable transfer of tactile cues from the jaws to the surgeon’s hand.
