Frequently asked questions
Are these forceps designed for heavy tissue handling?

Are these suitable for bariatric surgical procedures?
Absolutely. While primarily designed for cardiothoracic surgeries, the 16-inch extended length of these forceps makes them an excellent choice for bariatric procedures where extra reach is required.
Is the stainless steel material high-quality for repeated use?
These forceps are crafted from durable stainless steel and are fully reusable. They are built to withstand the demands of surgical environments, ensuring long-term utility for professional healthcare settings.

Is this instrument TAA compliant?

Do I need to sterilize them before first use?
Yes, these forceps are shipped non-sterile. They must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable surgical instruments before they are introduced into a sterile field.
