Sklar Bridge Forceps, Long Reach Curved Straight
A long reach forceps used to pass sutures or ligatures underneath deep structures during surgery, available in three lengths, curved or straight, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Bridge Forceps is a notably long surgical instrument used to pass ligatures, sutures or tape underneath deep anatomical structures such as major vessels, where the surgeon needs to bridge a gap without direct finger access. This listing spans six variants across three lengths, 16, 18 and 20 inches, each available in a curved or straight configuration, giving the surgical team a wide range of reach and approach angle for different depths and vessel locations.
The extended length distinguishes it from standard forceps and reflects its role in deep or major vascular and thoracic procedures where instruments need to travel well beyond the incision to complete the manoeuvre. It is intended for use by trained surgical staff in vascular, cardiac and thoracic surgery, and is typically kept as part of a specialised long instrument tray rather than a routine general surgery set.
