Sklar Brand Tendon Holding Forceps, Straight
A 7-1/2 inch straight forceps used to grasp and hold tendon securely during hand, orthopedic and reconstructive tendon repair surgery, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Brand Tendon Holding Forceps is designed specifically for gripping tendon, a tissue that is dense and slippery compared with softer soft tissue, during tendon repair and reconstruction procedures in hand and orthopedic surgery. The straight 7-1/2 inch pattern in this listing is one of six variants within the Brand tendon forceps line, letting the surgical team select the configuration best suited to the tendon size and the specific repair technique being used.
Surgeons rely on a forceps built for this purpose because a general tissue forceps can crush or fray tendon fibres, whereas a purpose-built tendon holder is shaped to hold the tendon securely along its length while sutures are placed. It is intended for use by trained hand and orthopedic surgical staff, typically as part of a tendon repair or hand surgery instrument tray, cleaned and sterilised for repeated use.
