ConMed DetachaTip III Straight Fenestrated Grasper

The ConMed DetachaTip III Straight Fenestrated Grasper is a multi-use electrosurgical instrument designed for versatile functionality. It is capable of performing two primary surgical actions:

• Tissue Grasping: Securely holding and manipulating structures.
• Electrosurgical Cutting: Enabling precise tissue cutting when used in conjunction with electrosurgery.

This combination of grasping and cutting capabilities allows the instrument to be highly versatile in various laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures.

Yes, this grasper is specifically designed to interface seamlessly with the ConMed DetachaTip Standard Universal Handle (#3-1010). This handle is necessary for operation.

The ConMed DetachaTip III Grasper is engineered using specific, high-performance materials to ensure strength, precision, and safety:

• Electrically Insulating Composite Shaft: The shaft is constructed from lightweight composite tubing. This material provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional steel and is inherently electrically insulating, eliminating the need for external shrink-wrap insulation.
• Durable Stainless Steel Mechanism: The internal drive mechanism features robust stainless steel. This material ensures a strong and reliable connection, maintaining precise handle-to-jaw operation for excellent durability and increased tactile feedback during grasping and dissection procedures.

The ConMed DetachaTip III Straight Fenestrated Grasper is available in two sizes:

• 13” x 0.2” (33 cm x 5 mm)
• 17” x 0.2” (43 cm x 5 mm)

Yes, a core feature of the DetachaTip III Grasper is its electrically insulating composite shaft.

This material is integrated directly into the tubing, which entirely eliminates the need for traditional external shrink-wrap insulation commonly found on similar instruments. This design contributes to:

• Enhanced Durability: A more streamlined and robust instrument.
• Superior Performance: The lightweight composite tubing offers a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to conventional steel shafts.
• Precise Control: It supports the delivery of enhanced tactile feedback to the surgeon during grasping and manipulation.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Straight Fenestrated Grasper is specifically engineered to provide enhanced tactile feedback for precise control during grasping and dissection procedures. This allows the surgeon increased sensitivity regarding the structure held within the jaw.

This precise control and feedback are enabled by key design elements:

• Precise Handle-to-Jaw Operation: The instrument design maximizes responsiveness, accurately transferring sensation.
• Durable Stainless Steel Mechanism: This robust drive system ensures a strong, reliable connection for consistent tactile communication.
• Lightweight Composite Tubing: The shaft’s high strength-to-weight ratio contributes to overall instrument balance and control, which aids in sensitivity.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III features a drive mechanism made from robust stainless steel. This construction is specifically engineered to ensure:

• Increased durability for consistent performance.
• Longevity when performing rigorous grasping and dissecting actions.

Yes, the instrument’s shaft is constructed using lightweight composite tubing engineered for superior performance and durability.

This material provides two primary advantages over traditional steel components:

• Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The composite offers exceptional strength without the bulk, enhancing maneuverability.
• Built-in Electrical Insulation: The shaft integrates an electrically insulating material, which removes the requirement for traditional external shrink-wrap insulation.

Yes, the ConMed DetachaTip III Straight Fenestrated Grasper is intended for multi-use during electrosurgical applications.This instrument’s multi-use design allows it to perform dual functions:

• Tissue Grasping: Securing structures with the straight fenestrated jaws.
• Electrosurgical Cutting: Utilizing electrosurgery for tissue cutting.

Its construction includes a highly durable stainless steel drive mechanism and a composite shaft, engineered to maintain high strength and reliability across repeated procedures.

Yes, a key feature of the ConMed DetachaTip III Grasper is its highly efficient electrical insulation system built into the shaft. This offers several benefits:

• Integrated Insulation: The lightweight composite tubing is engineered with electrically insulating material directly within the shaft structure.
• Simplified Use: This design eliminates the need for external shrink-wrap insulation, which is commonly required for similar instruments.
• Superior Strength: The composite material provides a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional steel shafts.
