ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper

The ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is a multi-use electrosurgical instrument designed for tissue manipulation and dissection. Its primary functions include:

• Cutting or Tearing Tissue: Specifically engineered for these electrosurgical actions.
• Grasping: Used for securing and manipulating tissue structures during procedures.

This grasper is valued for delivering precise tactile feedback from the handle to the jaw, allowing surgeons to accurately feel the structure being engaged. For operation, it must be paired with the ConMed DetachaTip Standard Universal Handle (#3-1010).

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is designed as a multi-use electrosurgical instrument for cutting or tearing tissue, built with several features to ensure high durability and precise operation:

• Superior Strength: The shaft is constructed from lightweight composite tubing, providing a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel.
• Robust Mechanism: It incorporates a stainless steel drive mechanism, guaranteeing a strong and reliable connection during grasping and dissection procedures.
• Integrated Insulation: The composite shaft material contains integrated electrical insulation, removing the need for traditional shrink-wrap.
• Precise Control: The instrument delivers accurate handle-to-jaw operation, offering surgeons enhanced tactile feedback.

This instrument requires the ConMed DetachaTip Standard Universal Handle (#3-1010) for operation. Please note that the handle is sold separately.

The ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper utilizes advanced materials for high performance and longevity:

• Lightweight Composite Shaft: The shaft is made from composite tubing that provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard steel. This material also includes integrated electrical insulation, eliminating the requirement for external shrink-wrap.
• Stainless Steel Drive Mechanism: A robust stainless steel drive mechanism ensures a strong, durable connection throughout the instrument, enhancing reliability during rigorous grasping and dissection tasks.

The ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is available in two distinct length configurations, both featuring a 0.2-inch (5 mm) shaft diameter:

• Standard: Measures 13 inches (33 cm) in length.
• Bariatric: Measures 17 inches (43 cm) in length, designed for procedures requiring greater reach.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is designed to deliver superior tactile feedback to the surgeon. This critical feature is achieved through its precise handle-to-jaw operation, which significantly enhances the ability to feel and discern the structure being grasped during dissection or cutting procedures.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is designed with robust safety features centered around electrical insulation during electrosurgical procedures.

Key features that enhance patient safety include:

• Integrated Electrical Insulation: The composite shaft tubing inherently incorporates electrically insulating material.
• Reliable Isolation: This advanced material eliminates the need for secondary shrink-wrap insulation, ensuring reliable and consistent electrical isolation throughout the instrument’s shaft.

Yes, the instrument’s shaft is made from an electrically insulating composite, which eliminates the need for additional shrink-wrap insulation.

Yes, the drive mechanism is made from stainless steel to ensure maximum durability. This robust material provides a strong connection essential for reliable and rigorous grasping or dissecting procedures.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Claw Grasper is specifically engineered to provide precise tactile feedback to the surgeon.

This crucial benefit is achieved through its design, which ensures precise operation from the handle directly to the jaws. This allows the surgeon to accurately sense and feel the grasped structure during procedures like cutting, tearing, or dissection, enhancing overall control and efficacy.
