Sklar Leriche Forceps, Straight 1x2 Teeth 6 Inch
A 6 inch forceps with 1x2 teeth, available in straight or curved patterns, used to grasp and hold tissue during general and vascular surgical procedures.
The Sklar Leriche Forceps is an instrument measuring 6 inches, finished with a 1x2 tooth pattern at the jaw for a secure, interlocking grip on tissue, and offered in both straight and curved configurations to suit different approach angles during a procedure. Named for a surgeon associated with vascular surgery, forceps of this pattern are commonly used to steady and manipulate tissue, including vessel walls and surrounding structures, during dissection, repair or anastomosis work, with the toothed jaw resisting slippage under the tension involved in vascular handling.
The choice between straight and curved lets the surgeon select the profile that best matches the angle of the vessel or tissue plane being worked on at a given step. General and vascular surgeons use this forceps as part of routine tissue handling during open vascular and general surgical procedures.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard reprocessing protocols, with the teeth checked before use to confirm they interlock cleanly.
