Negus Tonsil Fcps Fig.1, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in tonsillectomy and related oropharyngeal procedures, this instrument provides controlled grasping and stabilization of tonsillar tissue, ligatures, and surgical packs. The length and handling characteristics support both exposure and delivery tasks in a confined intraoral field, assisting the primary surgeon or an assistant with tissue control during dissection and hemostatic maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The Fig. 1 configuration is a common tonsil forceps pattern intended to balance shaft length and tip control for access to the oropharynx. The 19 cm shaft offers reach into the oral cavity while maintaining tactile feedback at the jaws, allowing precise tissue engagement without excessive hand repositioning. The jaw geometry of this pattern facilitates secure retention of soft tissue and packs with minimal slippage, helping streamline assistant tasks and intraoperative exchange of instruments.
