Overholt Tissue Forceps Curved 27.5 cm (11)

Curved Reach and Controlled Handling for Dissection and Ligature Work

The Overholt dissecting/ligature forceps is a 10 3/4-inch curved instrument designed for dissecting and ligature handling. Its curved profile helps support access and visualization when working within deeper or angled operative fields, while the full serrated jaws provide a firm grasp on the material being handled. The ring handle supports familiar forceps manipulation and controlled positioning during procedural workflows. This configuration suits general surgery and cardiovascular applications where extended reach and deliberate handling are useful for organized dissection and ligature tasks. Its specialty-neutral design supports consistent instrument selection across relevant surgical settings.

Use Cases

• Dissecting and isolating structures during general surgery procedures.
• Handling and positioning ligatures with the full serrated jaws.
• Supporting work in deeper or angled operative fields where the 10 3/4-inch length and curved shape provide useful reach.
• Assisting cardiovascular surgical workflows that require controlled handling during dissection or ligature tasks.
• Using the ring handle for familiar grasping and instrument manipulation during procedural setup and use.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the forceps according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the curved jaws and full serrations for residue, damage, or irregularity before and after use.
• Handle the ring handle and serrated jaws carefully to avoid impact or contact with other instruments during transport and processing.
• Store the forceps in a manner that protects the curved jaws and prevents unnecessary instrument-to-instrument contact.
