Sklar Adson Hypophyseal Forceps, Angled
A 9 inch pituitary forceps used in neurosurgery to grasp and remove tissue from deep, narrow surgical corridors. It is a standard item in professional surgical instrument trays.
The Sklar Adson Hypophyseal Forceps is a long, slender forceps built for pituitary and other deep neurosurgical procedures where the surgeon must reach tissue through a narrow corridor without disturbing surrounding structures. At 9 inches overall, it provides the reach needed for transsphenoidal and similar approaches.
This listing spans three configurations, an angled left, an angled right and a straight pattern, letting the surgical team choose the approach angle that best matches the operative trajectory and their own hand dominance. The angled versions are particularly useful for reaching around the sella or other angled anatomy without needing to reposition the whole instrument.
Hypophyseal forceps of this type are standard equipment in neurosurgical instrument trays and are typically stocked in pairs or small sets covering both angled directions alongside a straight option. Reusable stainless construction allows the instrument to withstand repeated sterilisation cycles across many neurosurgical cases.
