Wertheim Hysterectomy and Vaginal Forceps

Description

Wertheim Hysterectomy and Vaginal Forceps

Wertheim hysterectomy forceps are a long clamp for radical hysterectomy and vaginal surgery. The range covers two standard lengths and two toothed, curved versions.

Standard 25 and 28 cm

The standard clamp comes in 25 cm or 28 cm. So it reaches deep into the pelvis during radical surgery. Also, the 28 cm size measures closer to 27 cm.

1:2 teeth with a curve

Two versions add 1:2 teeth and a 23 cm length. One has a slight curve, while the other has a stronger curve. Therefore you can choose how sharply the tip turns toward the tissue.

Radical and vaginal cases

Radical hysterectomy removes tissue well beyond the uterus, so long clamps matter. Meanwhile, in vaginal surgery the shorter curved Wertheim hysterectomy forceps suit a tighter space. Then one family covers both settings.

Building a Wertheim set

Many teams keep standard clamps for the deep steps and curved ones for closer work. However, you can order a single option if that suits your list. Plus, we can quote mixed quantities.

Reprocessing Wertheim hysterectomy forceps

Long clamps can flex if someone uses them as levers, so keep them for clamping only. Next, clean the full length of the shaft and the jaws, not just the tips. Also, lay them flat in the tray so the shafts stay true.
