Pratt Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

Description

Pratt Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

The Pratt tissue forceps grasp tissue and organs in rectal and general surgery. At 15 cm, they suit anal and perineal work as well as superficial abdominal tasks.

Size of the Pratt tissue forceps

Fifteen centimetres gives good control in the perineum. Meanwhile, the ratchet keeps the grip steady.

Typical procedures

Colorectal surgeons use them during haemorrhoid and anal procedures. In addition, they hold tissue in pilonidal and perineal surgery.

Jaw grip

The jaws hold mucosa and soft tissue firmly. As a result, the surgeon can lift and excise with precision.

Technique

Clamp the pile or tag that you plan to excise, and pull outward as the scissors work.

On the proctology tray

Pennington forceps and anal retractors often sit beside the Pratt. Together they cover most anal procedures.

A trusted pattern

Many colorectal teams have used Pratt forceps for decades. Consequently, they remain common on proctology sets.

Pratt tissue forceps in haemorrhoid surgery

For a haemorrhoidectomy, the surgeon lifts each pile away from the anal canal before excising it. With the Pratt locked onto the pile, the base becomes visible, so the excision line and the ligature sit exactly where planned.
