Sklar Bainbridge Thyroid Forceps, Straight
A 7 inch straight forceps used to grasp thyroid gland and surrounding neck tissue securely during thyroid and neck surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Bainbridge Thyroid Forceps is a straight surgical forceps measuring 7 inches, used to grasp the thyroid gland and adjacent neck tissue during thyroidectomy and other neck surgery, where the surgeon needs a secure hold on glandular tissue while dissecting it free from surrounding structures such as the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands.
This listing includes both 6 and 7 inch lengths, with the straight pattern specified for the longer size, giving surgeons options that suit the depth and angle of the neck incision as well as personal technique preference. Thyroid surgery demands careful, controlled tissue handling given the proximity of critical nerves and vessels, and a forceps built specifically for this region helps the surgeon maintain that control throughout the dissection.
This instrument is used by general surgeons, endocrine surgeons, and otolaryngologists performing thyroid and parathyroid procedures, and is typically kept in a dedicated thyroid or neck surgery instrument tray. It is reprocessed between cases following standard surgical sterilization.
