Intestinal Forceps, Curved and Straight

Intestinal forceps are surgical clamps used during abdominal and bowel surgery to grasp, occlude or control sections of the intestine while the surgeon works. Their jaws are designed to hold tissue securely without causing excessive damage, which matters when handling delicate bowel structures during resection, anastomosis or other gastrointestinal procedures.

This listing covers the instrument in two variants, curved and straight, so a surgical team can choose the jaw pattern that best suits the angle of approach and the section of bowel being worked on during a given case. Curved patterns are often preferred for reaching around structures at an angle, while straight patterns give a more direct line of clamping.

As a reusable surgical steel instrument, intestinal forceps are cleaned, inspected and autoclaved between uses like other general surgery clamps, and are typically kept as part of a standard abdominal or bowel surgery instrument set. They are a staple of general and colorectal surgery trays in hospitals across the region.
