Surgical Forceps
Surgical forceps are single-use surgical instruments designed to grasp objects during invasive procedures such as surgery. For instance, forceps are utilized for tweezer-like actions, clamping, and applying pressure in various situations. Depending on the context, they can function either as pincers or extractors. They are commonly used in emergency rooms, examination rooms, operating theatres, and first aid scenarios.
Similar to articulated tongs, forceps can grasp and remove tissue, as well as apply and remove materials such as gauze, sponges, and wipes. With a history spanning over three thousand years, they remain essential tools in modern medicine. Additionally, they offer a greater level of technical efficiency and accuracy than what biological fingers could achieve alone, making them invaluable in surgical and medical settings.
At Rish Surgicals, we provide a variety of high-quality surgical forceps tailored to meet the needs of healthcare professionals.
wo main types of surgical forceps exist: thumb forceps (also known as gripping forceps, pinning forceps, surgical forceps, or non-locking forceps) and ring forceps (also referred to as hemostatic or locking forceps).
When selecting forceps, Rish Surgicals can assist you in making an informed decision regarding electrosurgical, bipolar, and single-use surgical instruments.
We build trust with our customers by actively listening to their needs. This approach allows us to understand the actual requirements for single-use surgical instruments. Our team is dedicated to responding to your requests for affordable, high-quality instruments.
With Rish Surgicals' extensive experience, the biomedical research community can depend on the reliability of the electrosurgical instruments we produce. Our team is committed to continuously expanding our product line to meet your evolving needs. Rish Surgicals offers a range of surgical instruments and electrosurgical tools developed in close collaboration with the manufacturer. Here are some of the forceps provided by Rish Surgicals:
Hemostatic Forceps
Hemostatic forceps are typically shaped like ring scissors and feature a hinged handle. These forceps are often equipped with a ratchet that secures the clamp in place. The ratchet requires multiple turns to close the jaws of the locking forceps, allowing for a secure grip on the object being held. Ring forceps are used to grip, hold, or apply traction to various objects during surgical procedures. For enhanced precision, ring forceps with a locking ratchet are generally preferred over thumb forceps.
The term "clamps" refers to devices that hold tissue in place while it is being examined. Another name for these devices is locking hemostatic forceps.
A hemostat is essential for controlling blood flow during cardiac surgery. Hemostats can compress blood vessels and other tubular structures to halt the flow of blood. Using ratcheted forceps effectively prevents blood loss by securely holding tissue or objects in place and minimizing movement.
At Rish Surgicals, we are committed to providing high-quality hemostatic forceps designed for optimal performance in surgical settings.
Sponge & Dressing Forceps
When it comes to wound care, dressing forceps are essential. They are used to hold dressings and gauze, making them invaluable for treating infected or necrotic wounds. Additionally, they can be utilized to close wounds effectively.
Tongue Forceps
During dental procedures, tongue forceps provide a comfortable grip on the tongue. These forceps allow practitioners to hold, stabilize, and manipulate the tongue within the mouth, with wide fenestrations that enable easy access to the mucosa.
Gum & Tissue Forceps
Tissue forceps are typically essential during surgical procedures. Designed to minimize damage to living tissue, these forceps help manipulate and maintain delicate tissues throughout various surgical tasks.
Towel Clamp Forceps
Towel clamp forceps, a type of perforating clamp, are used for gripping tissue, securing towels, and stabilizing minor bone fractures. Their design ensures a firm hold while performing procedures.
Fine Artery Forceps
Fine artery forceps are utilized to grasp and compress arteries to limit bleeding. Often equipped with locking mechanisms, these forceps keep the handles in place while effectively stopping blood flow, classifying them as hemostats.
Vascular Cannulation Forceps
Vascular cannulation forceps facilitate the introduction of catheters into the bloodstream. Their hollow jaws prevent damage to the tine tubes during insertion, ensuring a safe and effective procedure.
Ophthalmic Forceps
Ophthalmic forceps feature tips that are 0.25 mm thick and 2.5 mm long, designed for precision in delicate operations. These forceps give surgeons complete control over small areas, enhancing surgical accuracy.
Thumb Forceps
Thumb forceps, also known as forefinger forceps, are used to grasp, hold, or manipulate tissue without ratcheting mechanisms. Various types are available, including flat, serrated, cupped, and grooved tips.
Locking Forceps
Locking forceps, often referred to as clamps, are used to hold tissue in place. Hemostats control blood flow during procedures, while needle holders manage needles effectively in the medical field.
Student Fine Forceps
Ideal for general dissections where delicate tips are not essential, student fine forceps are the best choice for educational settings. They are designed for students practicing dissection techniques.
