Sklar Mayo-Robson Forceps, Longitudinal Serrations
A straight forceps with longitudinal serrations used to grasp and control tissue securely during abdominal surgical procedures.
The Sklar Mayo-Robson Forceps is a grasping instrument used in abdominal surgery to hold tissue firmly while the surgeon works around it, such as during dissection, retraction or exposure of a surgical field. The longitudinal serrations running along the jaw length distribute the grip evenly across the tissue held, reducing the chance of the tissue tearing or slipping compared with a forceps that relies on a small number of concentrated teeth.
This pattern is associated with general and gastrointestinal surgery, where the Mayo-Robson name is also linked to a family of related instruments used in upper abdominal and biliary procedures. Surgeons use it to stabilise tissue during dissection or to control structures being manipulated elsewhere in the field.
This row measures 10 inches and is straight, with the listing including a curved configuration of the same length as a further option. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel for repeated sterilisation and use.
