Clinical Application
Designed for use in radical and total hysterectomy procedures, this instrument is intended to provide secure grasping and temporary occlusion of uterine arteries, parametrial tissue and ligaments during dissection and ligation. The one-by-two tooth jaw pattern improves purchase on fibrous and vascular pedicles, reducing slippage when applying traction or preparing tissue for suturing or vessel ligation. Its 24 cm length provides the reach required for deep pelvic access in open abdominal and gynecologic oncology procedures.
Design & Configuration
The one-by-two tooth (1x2T) jaw concentrates contact through a single opposing tooth engaging two complementary teeth, offering a balance of positive grip and controlled tissue apposition that helps prevent crushing of delicate structures while maintaining hold on tougher connective tissue. The overall 24 cm geometry gives surgeons extended reach into the pelvis while preserving manual control and tactile feedback. The forceps follow standard clamp ergonomics to allow secure ratcheting and single-handed application during dissection and ligation steps.
