Sklar Collin Forceps, Half Jaw
A 7-3/4 inch forceps with a half jaw design, used to grasp tissue gently during general and abdominal surgical procedures, available in two sizes.
The Sklar Collin Forceps is a 7-3/4 inch grasping instrument with a half jaw pattern, meaning the fenestrated grasping surface covers roughly half the length of the jaw rather than running its full extent, a design intended to provide a secure but gentler grip on tissue than a fully toothed or fully serrated forceps.
This listing covers the forceps in two size options, giving surgical teams a choice of overall length to match the depth of field they are working in. Forceps of this pattern are used in general and abdominal surgery for handling tissue such as bowel, omentum or other soft structures where the surgeon wants reliable grip without the higher risk of trauma associated with more aggressive tooth patterns.
This makes it a useful complement to more heavily toothed tissue forceps on the same tray, reserved for situations calling for a gentler touch. General surgeons and their surgical assistants use instruments like this routinely during abdominal procedures. As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is cleaned, inspected for jaw alignment and sterilized between surgical cases.
