Fogarty Tissue Forceps Straight 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Clip Application with Straight-Jaw Access

The Fogarty spring clip applicator forceps is a 7 1/4-inch instrument designed to place and manage spring clips during surgical workflows. Its straight jaws provide a direct approach to the working site, while the ring handle supports familiar forceps handling and controlled positioning. The extended length can help maintain working distance when access or visualization is important. Suitable for relevant applications in cardiovascular and general surgery settings, this forceps supports organized clip-handling tasks without introducing unnecessary complexity into the operative field. Its focused design makes it a practical addition to instrument sets requiring a dedicated spring clip applicator.

• Approaching the operative site with straight jaws for a direct clip-application path.
• Using the ring handle to guide controlled opening, placement, and release of the applicator.
