Dixon-Lovelace Dissecting And Ligature Forceps

Description

Dixon-Lovelace Dissecting and Ligature Forceps

Dixon-Lovelace forceps are a 15.5 cm dissecting and ligature forceps. They come with serrated jaws or 1:2 teeth.

Serrated or toothed

Serrated jaws suit vessels and ligatures. On the other hand, teeth hold firmer tissue.

A compact length

At 15.5 cm, the forceps suit superficial and moderately deep dissection.

Dissecting and ligature

The jaws help you separate tissue and then pass or hold a ligature.

In use

Surgeons spread the tips to open tissue planes around a vessel. Then they close them on the ligature and draw it through. Because the instrument does both jobs, it saves swapping forceps mid-step. Also, the 15.5 cm length suits moderately deep dissection. Meanwhile, the jaw choice lets you match the clamp to the tissue. Therefore teams often keep one serrated and one toothed pair together. That way the surgeon can switch quickly as the dissection changes.

Cleaning Dixon-Lovelace forceps

Rinse the tips promptly, then brush them gently. Dry the forceps and keep the tips protected in storage.
