Duval Grasping Forceps

Duval grasping forceps hold soft tissue with a triangular jaw. This compact model measures 14.5 cm.

A compact grasper

The short length suits shallow fields and fine work. By comparison, the Collin-Duval measures 20 cm for deeper reach.

Why a triangular jaw

The jaw spreads the hold over a wider area. Therefore it grips delicate tissue with less damage.

A compact grasper

This forceps lifts soft tissue with a broad triangular grip. Its short 14.5 cm length suits superficial work, where a longer instrument would feel clumsy. Because the jaw spreads the load, you can hold delicate tissue with light pressure. Many teams keep it beside the 20 cm Collin-Duval, so the surgeon can choose reach or precision as the case changes. To finish, unlock it with a small squeeze instead of pulling the tissue free.

Care of Duval grasping forceps

Brush the open triangular jaw on both faces. Next, dry the forceps fully, then lubricate the joint sparingly before sterilization.
