Description

The Round Bodied Platform Forceps 18 cm are fine microsurgical forceps used for handling small tissues and vessels during delicate surgical work. They have a round body with a platform at the working end. The forceps are available in straight and curved patterns, with both having the same basic body shape.

The working end has 0.5 mm tips that meet closely when the forceps are closed. In the straight pattern, the tips remain in line with the body, while the curved pattern bends slightly towards the front. The platform is short and sits directly behind the fine tips, giving the working end a small, defined gripping area.

The round-bodied construction runs almost the full length of the forceps. A weighted section is built into the distal part of the body, close to the working end. The rear section remains slimmer, with the two arms opening slightly when released. There are no finger rings or a locking catch on the forceps.

These forceps are used for handling delicate tissue and small vessels during cardiovascular and microvascular procedures. The straight and curved patterns give two different approaches to the working area. The straight form can be brought directly towards the tissue, while the curved form changes the direction of the tips when the working area is not directly in front of the hand.

The surgical stainless steel construction gives the forceps a firm body with a smooth metal surface. The weighted section, platform, and fine tips are part of the same reusable instrument. Before dispatch, every piece goes through our quality inspection process. Our quality inspectors examine the 0.5 mm tips, tip alignment, platform shape, distal weight, straight or curved profile, and surface finish before the forceps are packed.

The Round Bodied Platform Forceps 18 cm have 0.5 mm tips in straight and curved patterns. The round body, weighted distal section, and small platform give the forceps a simple layout for fine tissue and vessel handling during microsurgical procedures.
