Faure Hysterectomy Forceps

Description

Faure Hysterectomy Forceps

The Faure hysterectomy forceps is a 25 cm clamp in the Faure pattern. Gynecologic surgeons use it to clamp tissue during hysterectomy.

Role in hysterectomy

During a hysterectomy, surgeons clamp the ligaments and vessels before they cut. So a secure clamp keeps each pedicle under control. Then the surgeon ties or sutures the tissue behind the jaws.

A long 25 cm clamp

At 25 cm, this clamp reaches deep into the pelvis. Also, the length keeps knuckles clear of the wound edge. Therefore, it suits abdominal hysterectomy in larger patients.

Faure pattern

This clamp follows the Faure pattern, one of several named hysterectomy designs. By contrast, the Heaney family offers shorter clamps around 20 cm. Meanwhile, Segond patterns sit between the two at about 23 cm.

Building a hysterectomy tray

A hysterectomy tray often carries several clamp patterns. For example, Faure hysterectomy forceps can sit beside Heaney clamps for deeper pedicles. Plus, contact us if you want jaw details before you order.

Reprocessing Faure hysterectomy forceps

Open the clamp fully and rinse the jaws right after surgery. Next, scrub the jaws and joint with a soft brush and a neutral detergent. Finally, dry it and apply a drop of instrument lubricant to the joint.
