Description

The Selman Tumour Forceps are designed for grasping and handling tissue during surgical procedures. They are particularly suited to situations where a broader working surface is useful for holding tissue or specimens. The forceps can be used in tumour surgery and other procedures where tissue needs to be lifted, moved, or kept steady while work continues around the operative site.

The working end has spoon tips rather than narrow pointed ends. The rounded shape gives the tissue more surface to rest against, which can be useful when handling soft or delicate material. It also provides a different type of grip from toothed forceps, making the instrument suitable when a broader contact area is preferred.

Measuring 20 cm (8″) in length, the forceps provide a useful amount of reach without becoming excessively long. The elongated shape allows the tips to be positioned within the operative field while keeping the hand further away from the immediate working area. The slim arms also leave reasonable space around the tissue being handled.

The spoon tips can be useful during specimen handling, dissection, and tissue positioning. A surgeon may use them to lift a section of tissue or move a specimen once it has been separated. The rounded working ends are better suited to this type of manipulation than a sharp or heavily toothed grip when the tissue needs to be handled with care.

These are manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for repeated surgical use. Each instrument is inspected for the condition and alignment of the spoon tips, along with the overall finish and construction. Proper cleaning, sterilization, and handling are important for maintaining the working ends and the instrument’s condition over repeated procedures.

With 20 cm (8″) length and spoon-shaped tips, Selman Tumour Forceps provides a straightforward option for handling tissue and surgical specimens. Its broad working ends and elongated profile make it useful when the surgeon needs a steady hold without using a pointed or toothed instrument.
