Spencer-Wells Artery Forceps

Description

Spencer-Wells Artery Forceps

Spencer-Wells forceps are a traditional British pattern artery forceps. They come in five lengths, straight or curved.

Five lengths

The 13 to 15 cm sizes suit most superficial work. However, the 18 and 20 cm sizes reach deeper.

Straight or curved

Pick straight jaws when you can approach head-on. On the other hand, curved jaws keep the tips in view.

A familiar pattern

Surgeons trained in the UK and Commonwealth often prefer it by name.

Everyday use

Spencer-Wells forceps clamp vessels, hold sutures and grip drapes. Also, many teams use them as general holding forceps in the field. Because the pattern is simple and robust, it tolerates heavy use. Because five lengths share one jaw pattern, you can build a matched set. So the surgeon moves from shallow to deep work without changing feel. In addition, straight and curved options sit side by side in each size.

Reprocessing Spencer-Wells forceps

Open the forceps fully to clean the joint. Next, brush the jaws, rinse and dry. Then lubricate the joint lightly before sterilization.
