Rochester Ochsner Fcps cvd 16cm

Clinical Application

Rochester‑Ochsner curved forceps are a heavy‑duty clamping and grasping instrument used to securely seize dense tissue, suture tags, and vascularized pedicles. The interlocking serrated jaws provide a firm, anti‑slip grip useful for traction and temporary occlusion during dissection, wound retraction, and tissue control in general, abdominal, thoracic, and gynecologic cases. The 16 cm length balances reach and tactile control for both superficial and moderately deep operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft places the jaws at an angle to the operator’s hand, improving line of sight and access around tissues and structures compared with straight models. Ratcheted ring handles allow the surgeon to lock the instrument at a chosen tension for sustained hold without continuous manual force. The distal interlocking serrations ensure secure capture of tough or slippery tissues, minimizing slippage during traction or when applying clips and ties.
