Description

Merit Rochester-Oschner 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. Merit instruments are Sklar’s mid-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee. Merit instruments deliver an economical solution for physicians and practices that require quality, durable instruments. This product is curved with full, horizontally serrated jaws, 1 X 2 teeth, and a length of 7-1/4 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Are these forceps suitable for handling dense tissue?

Yes, these Rochester-Ochsner Forceps are specifically engineered for heavy-duty use. They are designed to provide aggressive grasping power, making them ideal for holding medium to heavy tissue or effectively occluding dense vessels.

How does the grip design ensure secure retention?

These forceps feature a dual-retention design to prevent slippage:

Full horizontal serrations run along the entire length of the jaw.
1x2 teeth at the tip provide an extra anchor point for maximum grip security.

Is this instrument durable enough for long-term clinical use?

Absolutely. The forceps are crafted from high-quality Pakistan stainless steel, ensuring robust performance and longevity. They are part of Sklar’s ‘Merit’ physician-grade line, built to withstand the rigors of routine and minor in-office procedures.

Can the clamping pressure be maintained without manual force?
