Hayes Atrauma Sigmoid Anastomosis Forceps

Description

Hayes Atrauma Sigmoid Anastomosis Forceps

Hayes anastomosis forceps grip the sigmoid colon during bowel reconstruction. Both sizes are curved, with atraumatic jaws.

26 cm or 28 cm

The 26 cm size suits most open cases. However, the 28 cm version gives extra reach in a deep pelvis.

Why atraumatic jaws matter

The jaws hold without crushing, so the bowel stays healthy for the anastomosis. As a result, surgeons use them on tissue they plan to keep.

Using it in colorectal surgery

Surgeons use this forceps during the join stage of a sigmoid resection. Then the atraumatic jaws steady the bowel while sutures or staples go in. Because both sizes are curved, they follow the pelvis well. Also, the longer version keeps your hand out of the light in a deep field. When the join is done, release the ratchet slowly to avoid tension on it. Also, choose the size by the depth of the pelvis rather than the size of the bowel.

Care of Hayes anastomosis forceps

Brush the jaw pattern clean after use. Next, rinse and dry the forceps, and check the ratchet before sterilization.
