Sklar OverStreet Polyp Forceps, 9-1/4 Inch
A 9-1/4 inch polyp forceps from Sklar used by surgeons to grasp and remove polyps and similar tissue growths during gastrointestinal or gynaecological surgery.
The Sklar OverStreet Polyp Forceps are a specialised grasping instrument used to secure and remove polyps and similar tissue growths encountered during gastrointestinal, gynaecological or ENT procedures. The jaw design is shaped to close around a polyp's base or stalk, giving the surgeon a controlled hold while the growth is excised or twisted free, without letting the specimen slip away before it can be retrieved for pathology.
Measuring 9-1/4 inches, the forceps offers enough reach to access polyps located deeper within a body cavity during an open or endoscopically assisted procedure. Retrieving intact tissue is often important for accurate diagnosis, so a dedicated polyp forceps like this is preferred over an improvised grasping instrument in these cases.
Surgical departments performing regular gastrointestinal or gynaecological procedures involving polyp removal typically keep an instrument of this kind as part of their specialty instrument tray.
