Clinical Application
This modular tip converts a compatible universal handle into a precise grasping instrument. The Fraenkel jaw profile is intended for fine, controlled manipulation of small or delicate tissues, handling sutures, and atraumatic stabilization of membranes and small structures during delicate dissection and repair. Using a tip-only component allows clinicians to tailor the instrument to the task at hand while minimizing the number of complete instruments required in the tray.
Design & Configuration
The tip-only configuration attaches to a standardized universal handle to create a complete forceps-like instrument. This modular approach provides intraoperative flexibility: tips can be exchanged quickly to change jaw geometry without replacing the entire instrument. The Fraenkel profile emphasizes a narrow, precise contact surface and controlled closure force to reduce tissue compression while maintaining reliable grip. The modular connection is engineered to seat securely on universal handle fittings to maintain alignment and tactile feedback.
