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 9 inches.
