Willet-Martel Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

Description

Willet-Martel Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

The Willet-Martel forceps grasp firm tissue and organs securely. At 19 cm, they reach into the abdomen and pelvis while the hand stays outside the wound.

A secure hold

The jaws grip firm tissue without slipping. Therefore, the assistant can apply steady traction while the surgeon dissects.

Length of the Willet-Martel forceps

Nineteen centimetres suits moderately deep work. In addition, the ratchet keeps the grip constant during long steps.

Typical procedures

In hysterectomy, the forceps grasp the uterus for upward pull. Likewise, general surgeons use them on any organ due for removal.

Technique

Wherever possible, clamp tissue destined for the specimen pot. Then lock at the step that holds, and adjust as dissection proceeds.

Martel or Willet-Martel

The Martel is shorter, at 14 cm. By contrast, this version adds reach for deeper fields.

On the tray

Many abdominal trays pair a holding forceps like this with Babcock and Allis forceps. In addition, that mix covers firm and delicate tissue.

Willet-Martel forceps compared with Allis patterns

Allis forceps grip with fine teeth along a narrow edge. In contrast, the Willet-Martel spreads its hold over a broader area, which suits bulky organs that an Allis would tear under heavy traction.
