Sklar Mixter Forceps, Right Angle Serrated
A delicate right angle clamp with serrated jaws, used to grasp and clamp vessels approached from behind or around a structure.
The Sklar Mixter Forceps is a right angled clamp designed to reach around or behind a structure, such as a blood vessel or duct, that cannot be accessed directly with a straight instrument. This angled approach is particularly useful when the surgeon needs to pass a ligature around a vessel from the far side, a common step in general, vascular and cardiothoracic surgery whenever a structure needs to be isolated before division.
The serrated jaw grips the vessel or tissue securely once positioned, and the delicate profile offered in this listing suits finer vessels or more confined surgical fields than a standard weight Mixter clamp would be suited to. Surgeons across multiple specialties keep this instrument available on their trays for use whenever right angle access is needed to a structure in the surgical field.
It measures 5-1/2 inches overall. The listing includes a second unit of this same serrated configuration. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel for repeated sterilisation and use.
