Sklar Pean Gastro-Intestinal Forceps, Serrated
A gastro-intestinal forceps from Sklar with longitudinal serrations, offered in straight or curved patterns near 9 inches, used to hold bowel tissue securely.
The Sklar Pean Gastro-Intestinal Forceps are used in bowel surgery to hold and control a section of stomach or intestine, with longitudinal serrations along the jaw that grip the tissue firmly without concentrating pressure at a single point. General and colorectal surgeons use forceps of this design when a segment of bowel needs to be secured during resection, anastomosis or repair, relying on the serrated pattern to reduce slippage compared with a smooth jaw.
This listing offers three configurations, at 9 and 9-1/2 inches, in both curved and straight patterns, letting the surgical team choose the option best suited to the angle and depth of a particular case. The straight pattern suits direct access, while the curved option helps the surgeon work around the natural curve of the bowel or nearby structures.
Hospitals performing regular gastrointestinal surgery typically stock a mix of these configurations as part of their standard bowel instrument sets.
