Mayo-Russian Grasping Forceps

Description

Mayo-Russian Grasping Forceps

Mayo-Russian forceps have a round, cupped tip on a long 23 cm body. They grip tissue over a broad area.

A cupped tip

The round tip spreads the grip across the tissue. So the forceps hold without tearing.

A long reach

At 23 cm, the Mayo-Russian forceps reach deep in the abdomen. Meanwhile, the hand stays clear of the field.

A steady hold

The serrated cup keeps its grip. Therefore tissue stays in place during suturing.

Where they help

Surgeons use them in abdominal and pelvic work. Then a shorter Russian pair handles the surface layers. Also, the broad tip suits bowel and other soft structures. In addition, the Mayo-Russian pattern suits holding bowel and uterine tissue during suturing. Meanwhile, the long 23 cm body keeps your hand away from the field. So it often sits on abdominal and caesarean section trays. Also, the Mayo-Russian forceps hold the uterine edge well at caesarean closure, because the cup spreads the grip along the muscle. For example, many obstetric teams keep one pair on every section tray.

Reprocessing Mayo-Russian forceps

Brush inside the Mayo-Russian cup after each case. Next, rinse and dry the forceps. Then lay them flat so the 23 cm arms stay true.
