Clinical Application
Designed for use in hysterectomy procedures, these Wertheim forceps provide atraumatic clamping of uterine pedicles, broad ligament tissue, and vascular bundles to facilitate secure control of bleeding prior to ligation or transection. Their atraumatic jaw interface helps reduce crush injury to delicate pelvic tissues, making them suitable for open abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy approaches where reliable soft-tissue handling and hemostasis are required.
Design & Configuration
The 24 cm overall length gives the operator additional reach into the pelvic cavity while maintaining ergonomic control at the handle. An atraumatic jaw geometry distributes clamping force over a broader surface to minimize tissue damage while preserving grip security. A robust locking mechanism holds tissue securely without continuous manual pressure, assisting in staged ligation and suture placement during dissection of the uterine pedicle and adjacent structures.
