Description
Atrauma Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps
The atraumatic organ forceps hold bowel, lung and vessels with fine, non-crushing jaws. At 25 and 26 cm, they reach deep into the chest and abdomen.
Atraumatic jaws
Rows of fine grooves take the place of teeth. Therefore, the jaws hold tissue firmly while leaving little or no mark.
Long reach of the atraumatic organ forceps
We offer 25 cm and 26 cm. As a result, they reach deep structures in thoracic and abdominal surgery.
Typical uses
Thoracic surgeons hold lung tissue with them. In addition, general and vascular surgeons hold bowel and vessels.
Technique
Close the jaws evenly and engage the first ratchet step. Then lift gently.
When to choose atraumatic jaws
Tissue that stays in the patient needs gentle handling. By contrast, teeth are fine on specimens.
Deep fields
With such long shanks, the fingers stay above the chest wall. Consequently, the surgeon sees the jaws clearly.
Atraumatic organ forceps in thoracic use
During lung surgery, the surgeon often needs to lift a lobe gently to reach the hilum. Since these forceps reach 25 cm or more and grip without crushing, the lobe moves aside while the airway and vessels come into view.

Before you check out
Someone at our Atlanta base examines each forceps under good light before it leaves. Both atraumatic lengths carry three years against manufacturing defects. Further instruments sit in our general surgery listings. To learn about the steel in surgical tools, visit ASTM F899. Larger units keep a backup forceps in case one is out for service. Take a look at our atraumatic Allis forceps. For help with an order, try our FAQ page.
