Lawrence Artery Forceps, Dissecting And Ligature Forceps

Description

Lawrence Artery Forceps

Lawrence artery forceps are a long, curved clamp at 27.5 cm. They suit deep dissection and ligature work.

A long curved jaw

The curve lets you see the tips beneath tissue. Also, the length keeps your hand well back from the field.

Dissecting and ligature use

You can spread tissue with the tips. Then the same forceps hold a tie for passing around a vessel.

One size

We stock the curved 27.5 cm pattern. However, we can suggest a shorter clamp if you need one.

Handling a long clamp

Hold the rings lightly, because a tight grip tires the hand on long instruments. Next, rest your forearm where you can, so the tip stays steady. Then close the ratchet slowly as the tips meet. That way the jaws seat evenly along their length. If you need a shorter clamp for the same work, contact us about related patterns.

Reprocessing Lawrence artery forceps

Long shafts bend if dropped, so handle the forceps with care. Scrub the jaws and hinge, flush with water, dry, and lay the clamp in a flat tray.
