Sklar Alligator Forceps, Angled 3.4mm
An alligator style forceps offered in several angle and diameter combinations, used for grasping tissue through narrow access channels. It is a standard item in professional surgical instrument trays.
The Sklar Alligator Forceps is a minimally invasive grasping instrument used to hold and retrieve tissue or foreign material through an endoscopic or otherwise narrow surgical access channel. 4mm, for example a 45 degree left angled configuration, giving the surgical or endoscopy team a range of approach angles to reach targets positioned at different orientations relative to the scope or access port without needing to reposition the whole instrument.
The alligator jaw pattern provides a relatively wide bite for its slim shaft diameter, which helps secure a grip on the target material while minimising the footprint needed to introduce the instrument. Facilities performing regular endoscopic or minimally invasive procedures typically keep a spread of angle options from this family available together, since the correct angle depends on where the target tissue sits relative to the access route in each individual case.
