Frequently asked questions
Is the steel quality durable for repeated surgical use?
Yes, these forceps are forged from high-quality Japanese stainless steel. This material choice ensures the instrument is robust, corrosion-resistant, and specifically engineered for the rigors of repeated use in operating room environments.
How secure is the grip on delicate tissue?
The instrument features Pozzi style rounded tips with overlapping, flattened 1x1 sharp prongs. This design is specifically engineered to provide a firm, secure hold on tissue or vessels, ensuring stability during procedures like D&C or hysterectomies.
Does the instrument feature a locking mechanism?
Yes, the forceps include a ratcheted finger ring handle system. This allows the surgeon to lock the instrument securely in a closed position, providing a sustained and reliable grip without requiring constant manual pressure.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the Surgi-OR Schroeder Tenaculum Forceps are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for surgical environments where latex-free equipment is required.

No, these instruments are supplied non-sterile. They must be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols before their first use and following every subsequent procedure.
