Foerster Tissue Forceps 34.3 cm (13.5)

Precision Grasping for Minimally Invasive Procedures

Navigating the confined spaces of video-assisted thoracic surgery requires instruments that balance reach with dexterity. This 13 1/2-inch VATS Foerster Forceps is engineered to meet those demands, featuring a slender 7mm shaft that facilitates smooth passage through trocars while maintaining structural integrity. The 12mm oval jaws provide a secure, broad surface area for manipulating sponges, gauze, or delicate tissues without causing unnecessary trauma. Designed for both general and cardiovascular surgical workflows, this forceps offers the extended reach necessary for deep cavity access while supports reliable grip strength. Its configuration supports efficient clearing of the surgical field and precise tissue handling, helping surgeons maintain visualization and control during complex minimally invasive interventions.
