Sklar TC Wangensteen Tissue Forceps, 10 Inch
A 10 inch tungsten carbide tissue forceps used to grasp and hold tissue securely in deep abdominal and general surgical fields.
The Sklar Tungsten Carbide Wangensteen Tissue Forceps is a long instrument built to reach and grasp tissue in deep surgical fields where a shorter forceps cannot maintain control at the tip. At ten inches overall, it gives the surgeon a long, stable working length while the tungsten carbide inserts in the jaws keep the gripping surface sharp and durable across repeated sterilization cycles.
This listing spans three configurations of the Wangensteen pattern, letting surgeons choose the exact tip and jaw variation their procedure requires. Tissue forceps of this length are used in general and abdominal surgery for deep cavity work, including bowel and upper abdominal procedures where the surgical target sits well below the incision line.
Surgeons and their assisting teams in hospital operating theatres rely on this instrument as part of a deep abdominal or general surgery set. As a reusable instrument with tungsten carbide inserts, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between cases.
