Surgical Tissue Forceps Straight 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Prechopping Support with Ergonomic Titanium Handling

The D&K Salvitti-Akahoshi combo prechopper forceps is designed for prechopping tasks that require controlled instrument handling and access through a compact operative field. Its 4 5/8-inch length, straight shafts, 1.5mm large-tip profile, reverse cross-action, and round ergonomic handle support deliberate positioning and manipulation in general surgery and ophthalmic workflows. Titanium construction provides a lightweight instrument platform for repeated professional handling, while the straight shaft geometry offers a familiar, direct approach. The combination design brings prechopper functionality and forceps-style control together in one specialized instrument for clinicians who value consistent hand positioning during focused procedural steps.

Use Cases

• Support prechopping tasks in general surgery when controlled forceps handling and a direct straight-shaft approach are appropriate.
• Use in ophthalmic workflows requiring a specialized prechopper forceps with a 1.5mm large-tip profile.
• Position and manipulate the instrument through a compact operative field using the 4 5/8-inch shaft length.
• Apply reverse cross-action control while maintaining a stable grip through the round ergonomic handle.
