Colver Tonsil Seizing Forceps

Description

Colver Tonsil Seizing Forceps

Colver tonsil seizing forceps grip the tonsil and let the surgeon draw it out of its fossa. This traction shows where to cut or dissect during tonsillectomy.

A straight seizing pattern

Unlike the curved patterns, the Colver design is straight. So the jaws line up directly with the shaft. Some surgeons find that this straight line gives easy control from the front of the mouth.

18 cm long

We stock the Colver pattern at 18 cm. That makes it a little shorter than our 20 cm seizing forceps. As a result, it may suit smaller mouths or surgeons who like a compact grip.

Role in the procedure

The surgeon grasps the upper pole or body of the tonsil. Then they pull it medially while a dissector separates the capsule. Also, the grip helps when the snare goes on at the end.

How to decide

If you prefer a straight shaft, then the Colver tonsil seizing forceps are the obvious pick. However, if you want a curve, look at the White, Museux or Blohmke patterns. Many trays hold one of each style.

Caring for your Colver forceps

Rinse the jaws with water right after surgery. Next, brush them open, paying attention to the joint. Then dry the Colver tonsil seizing forceps and sterilize them.
