Sklar Heywood-Smith Rectum Forceps, 8-1/4 Inch

The Sklar Heywood-Smith Rectum Forceps is an 8-1/4 inch instrument used to grasp tissue, specimens or foreign material during anorectal and lower gastrointestinal surgical procedures. Its length and jaw design give the surgeon the reach and grip needed to work within the confined space of the rectal canal, whether removing a polyp, retrieving a foreign body, or manipulating tissue during a procedure such as hemorrhoidectomy.

Colorectal and general surgeons rely on dedicated rectal forceps like this as part of an anorectal instrument set, since procedures in this anatomical area typically call for purpose built instruments with the appropriate length and jaw shape rather than general abdominal forceps. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Heywood-Smith pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated use with standard cleaning and sterilization between patients as part of routine anorectal surgical equipment.
