Glassman Atraumatic Vascular Tissue Forceps

Description

Glassman Atraumatic Vascular Tissue Forceps

Glassman tissue forceps have atraumatic jaws with fine rows of teeth. They hold vessels, bowel and other delicate tissue without crushing it.

Atraumatic jaws

Rows of fine teeth run along each jaw and mesh together. As a result, the forceps grip securely while spreading the pressure.

Narrow or wide jaws

The 2 and 2.5 mm tips suit vessels and fine structures. By contrast, the 4 and 8 mm jaws spread the hold across a wider band of tissue.

Two lengths

The 15 cm size gives control in open fields. Meanwhile, the 24 cm size reaches deep into the chest or abdomen.

Who uses them

Vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons use these forceps during dissection and anastomosis. Also, general surgeons use the wide jaws on bowel. When you work on a vessel, the narrow tips let you lift the wall without crushing it. Meanwhile, the wide jaws suit tasks such as holding bowel for an anastomosis. Many vascular sets include both a 15 cm and a 24 cm pair. That pairing gives control at the surface and reach in deep fields.

Care of Glassman tissue forceps

Rinse the jaws right after use, because blood lodges between the rows of teeth. Next, brush along the rows under running water. Then dry the forceps and check that the jaws meet evenly.
