Sklar Chevalier Jackson Broncho-Esophagoscopy Forceps
A 12 inch forceps with a fenestrated serrated grasping tip, used during bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy to retrieve foreign bodies or grasp tissue, available in many tip configurations.
The Sklar Chevalier Jackson Broncho-Esophagoscopy Forceps is a long, 12 inch instrument built to work through the narrow, extended access of a rigid bronchoscope or esophagoscope, used to grasp tissue or retrieve foreign objects lodged in the airway or esophagus. This particular listing features a fenestrated, serrated grasping tip on an alligator style jaw, a pattern well suited to gripping soft or irregularly shaped material securely without it slipping free during withdrawal.
This is one of thirty two variants covering different tip designs, including alligator tooth grasping, ball cutting and fenestrated round or square cutting tips, in straight or angled configurations, reflecting how varied the clinical situations calling for this instrument can be, from foreign body removal to biopsy sampling.
Chevalier Jackson pattern instruments have a long history in otolaryngology and remain in active use for endoscopic airway and esophageal procedures. Otolaryngologists and thoracic surgeons performing rigid endoscopy rely on having the correct tip style available for the task at hand, and these long, slender instruments are cleaned, inspected along their full length and sterilized as reusable stainless steel tools between cases.
