Sklar Organ Seizing Forceps, Atraumatic, 10-1/4 Inch

The Sklar Organ Seizing Forceps are designed with an atraumatic jaw pattern that allows surgeons to grasp and hold solid organs, such as the liver or spleen, without causing the tearing or bruising that a toothed instrument could cause on delicate organ surfaces. Abdominal and general surgeons use forceps of this kind to retract or steady an organ while another part of the operative field is being addressed, relying on the atraumatic design to reduce the risk of intraoperative bleeding from the organ capsule.

This listing offers a choice of 10 or 10-1/4 inch lengths, both suited to reaching structures within the abdominal cavity during open surgery. Instruments built for atraumatic organ handling are a standard part of general and hepatobiliary surgical sets, valued whenever solid organ tissue needs to be manipulated directly.

Hospitals with active general surgery programmes typically stock this type of forceps as part of their core abdominal instrument tray.
