Sklar Collin Tongue Seizing Forceps, 6-1/2in
A 6-1/2 inch forceps used to grip and stabilize the tongue during airway management or oral and ENT surgical procedures, available in two sizes.
The Sklar Collin Tongue Seizing Forceps is a 6-1/2 inch instrument with a jaw specifically shaped to grip and hold the tongue securely, used in situations where the tongue needs to be drawn forward and stabilized, such as during airway management, tracheostomy or various oral and ENT surgical procedures.
Its jaw pattern is designed to grasp the relatively soft, mobile tissue of the tongue firmly enough to maintain traction without an excessive risk of tearing, which is important since the tongue is well vascularized and can bleed readily if handled roughly. This listing covers the forceps in two size options, giving clinical teams flexibility depending on patient anatomy and the specific procedure being performed.
Anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, otolaryngologists and oral surgeons use instruments of this kind whenever direct control of the tongue improves visualization of the airway or oral cavity. As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is cleaned, inspected for jaw condition and sterilized between patient uses in line with standard instrument reprocessing protocols.
