Frequently asked questions
Does this forceps model support asset tracking?
Yes, this instrument is CensiTrac marked. This integration allows for easier asset management and tracking within surgical facilities that utilize the CensiTrac system.
Is the stainless steel used suitable for repeated sterilization?
Absolutely. The forceps are manufactured from high-quality, durable stainless steel designed for professional surgical environments. They are fully reusable and can withstand the rigorous, repeated sterilization processes required for clinical use.
Can this be used for delicate tissue manipulation?
Yes, this model features a delicate pattern design. While it maintains the robust clamping power of a standard Kelly forceps, the delicate construction allows for the precision required during finer surgical tasks.
Are these forceps made with natural rubber latex?
No, these Sklar forceps are not made with natural rubber latex. They are a safe option for medical environments where latex-free instruments are required.
How secure is the grip on the tissues?
The forceps are engineered with curved, serrated tips. The serrations cover half the length of the jaws, providing a secure and reliable grip when clamping large blood vessels or manipulating heavy tissue.
Is this product compliant for government procurement?
Yes, this item is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government-funded medical facilities and institutional procurement programs.
What is the specific jaw-to-shank ratio?
These forceps are designed with specific geometry for surgical efficiency: the jaws are 1/3 the length of the shanks, and the serrations extend over 1/2 the length of the jaws.
Does the handle include a mechanism to lock the grip?
Yes, the handle features traditional finger rings equipped with a ratchet mechanism. This allows the surgeon to lock the forceps in place once the desired clamping force is applied.
Are these instruments shipped sterile or non-sterile?
These forceps are supplied non-sterile. Please ensure they undergo the appropriate cleaning and sterilization protocols according to your facility’s standards before they are used in a clinical procedure.
Is this instrument a standard size for surgical trays?
This model is 5-1/2 inches in total length. This is a versatile, standard length for Kelly hemostatic forceps, designed to fit effectively into most surgical tray setups.
