Lockwood Tissue and Organ Holding Forceps

Description

Lockwood Tissue and Organ Holding Forceps

The Lockwood tissue forceps grasp firm tissue and organs in abdominal surgery. Strong jaws and a ratchet hold steady traction during long procedures.

Length of the Lockwood tissue forceps

They measure 20 cm. Therefore, they reach into the abdomen comfortably. Meanwhile, the handles stay outside the wound.

Strong jaws

The jaws suit firm tissue such as fascia and thick bowel wall. As a result, the grip does not slip. That helps when traction is heavy.

Typical procedures

General and colorectal surgeons use them. For example, they hold bowel ends during resection. They also grasp tissue to be removed.

Technique

Grasp the tissue that will be removed when possible. Then lock at the lowest step that holds. Also, check the hold often.

Pairing

Lockwood-Allis forceps offer a toothed variant. Together they cover firm and delicate tissue. Many trays carry both.

Holding bowel during resection

For example, the surgeon often places the forceps on the segment that will be removed. In this way, any jaw marks stay on discarded tissue, and the ends that remain stay undamaged.
