Sklar Harrington Forceps, Right Angled, 18 Inch
An 18 inch, right angled Sklar Harrington forceps, used to grasp and manipulate tissue in deep surgical fields such as pelvic or abdominal surgery.
The Sklar Harrington Forceps is an 18 inch instrument with a right angled jaw, built to reach and grasp tissue deep within large body cavities where a shorter, straight instrument cannot comfortably access the surgical field. The extended length and angled tip suit deep pelvic, abdominal or thoracic procedures, giving the surgeon the reach needed to manipulate tissue or structures well below the surface of the incision.
This pattern is offered by Sklar in two lengths, 18 and 20 inches, letting surgeons choose the reach appropriate to the depth of the specific surgical field. General, gynecologic and colorectal surgeons use long angled forceps like this whenever a deep cavity procedure calls for tissue handling beyond the reach of standard length instruments, and it is typically included in a specialty instrument set built for deep pelvic or abdominal surgery.
The instrument is made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use across procedures.
