Description

Econo Rochester-Oschner (Kocher) Forceps are a heavy instrument designed to aggressively grasp medium to heavy tissue or occlude heavy, dense vessels. They have horizontal serrations the entire length of the jaw as well as 1 X 2 teeth at the tip. The combination of full serrations plus teeth ensure a firm grip on the tissue or vessel being held. Rochester-Oschner Forceps are available either curved or straight and in multiple lengths. These forceps are sometimes referred to as simply Oschner Forceps, however, Rochester-Oschner Forceps are actually heavier than standard Oschner Forceps. Econo instruments are Sklar's floor-grade, disposable instruments and are sold in bulk quantities. This product is straight with full, horizontally serrated jaws, 1 X 2 teeth and a length of 5-1/2 inches. It is sold in boxes of 12.
