Tweezer for Lateral Valve Removal

Description

Tweezer for Lateral Valve Removal

This lateral valve tweezer measures 13 cm and removes lateral valves from a self-retaining spine retractor. It gives you a firm hold on a small part.

One job, done well

The tool exists for one task: taking side valves off the frame. So you avoid prying at them with fingers or other tools. Also, a dedicated tool cuts fumbling at the table.

13 cm length

At 13 cm, the tweezer fits comfortably in one hand. Meanwhile, the length keeps your fingers clear of the frame. Then valve changes stay quick, even when the team swaps several valves during one long spine case.

Works with our valves

We sell plain and pronged side valves for the same retractor system. Therefore, this tweezer suits teams using those valves. Plus, it belongs in the same tray, right beside the valves it serves, so nobody hunts for it.

Small but useful

Small tools often go missing from sets. However, without one, valve removal slows the turnover. In addition, keep a spare lateral valve tweezer with each retractor set.

Cleaning lateral valve tweezer

Clean the tips well, since fluid gathers where they meet. Next, wash and dry the tweezer along with the valves. Finally, keep it in a tray slot so it stays with its retractor.
