Wikstroem Hysterectomy And Vaginal Forceps

Description

Wikstroem Hysterectomy And Vaginal Forceps

The Wikstroem forceps is a hysterectomy and vaginal clamp of about 18 cm. Surgeons use it to grip and hold tissue during pelvic surgery.

A clamp for pelvic surgery

In hysterectomy, the clamp secures tissue before the surgeon cuts or ties it. Also, it works in vaginal procedures where space runs tight. So one pattern serves both abdominal and vaginal cases.

Length and reach

At about 18 cm, this clamp sits in the mid range for gynecology. Therefore it reaches the vaginal vault without feeling long in the hand. However, deep abdominal work may call for a longer pattern.

Where it fits on a tray

Many hysterectomy sets carry several clamps side by side. Then the Wikstroem forceps adds a named pattern that some surgeons request by habit. Plus, a matching pair lets the team clamp both sides at once.

Choosing between patterns

Gynecology clamps differ mostly in jaw shape and length. So check which pattern your surgeons name on their preference cards. Next, match the count to the number of pedicles you usually clamp.

Cleaning Wikstroem forceps

Rinse the jaws soon after the case so tissue does not dry in place. Next, open the clamp fully for washing and inspect the tips under good light. Finally, store it open or loosely closed on a padded rack.
