Sklar Resano Rectal Forceps, Atraumatic, 11 Inch
An atraumatic 11 inch rectal forceps from Sklar used by colorectal surgeons to hold rectal tissue gently during rectal and anorectal surgical procedures.
The Sklar Resano Rectal Forceps are designed with an atraumatic jaw that allows colorectal surgeons to grasp and hold rectal tissue during surgery without causing the tearing or bruising that a toothed instrument could produce on this sensitive tissue. Measuring 11 inches, the forceps gives enough reach to work within the rectal cavity from an external approach, a length matched to the specific anatomical requirements of anorectal surgery rather than general abdominal procedures.
Surgeons use an atraumatic grasping instrument like this whenever rectal tissue needs to be steadied or retracted during a procedure such as hemorrhoidectomy, fistula surgery or rectal biopsy, relying on the gentle jaw design to minimise additional trauma to already compromised tissue. Colorectal surgery units and general surgical departments treating anorectal conditions typically keep this instrument as a standard part of their proctology instrument set, used alongside related rectal scissors, specula and probes.
