Cook Medical G14921 Rat Tooth Forceps with Flexible Shaft 3.3Fr. (x)

The Cook Medical G14921 Rat Tooth Forceps with Flexible Shaft 3.3Fr. is a specialized surgical instrument designed for precision tissue handling in minimally invasive procedures. These forceps are particularly useful in delicate surgical interventions where fine control and flexibility are essential, such as in endoscopic or laparoscopic applications. The rat tooth design, combined with the flexible shaft, allows for secure grasping and manipulation of tissue in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features and Benefits

Rat Tooth Grasping Tips: The forceps feature sharp rat tooth tips, which provide a secure grip on tissues. This design is ideal for grasping small, slippery, or delicate structures without causing excessive trauma or damage, making them suitable for procedures requiring high precision.

Flexible Shaft Design: The 3.3Fr flexible shaft allows for easy maneuverability in tight or curved anatomical spaces. This flexibility is crucial for reaching challenging areas during endoscopic, laparoscopic, or other minimally invasive procedures where access and control are limited.

Fine Control and Precision: The instrument’s design provides tactile feedback and smooth operation, giving surgeons precise control over tissue handling. The rat tooth forceps are engineered for tasks such as tissue retraction, biopsy collection, and foreign body removal with a high degree of accuracy.

Small Diameter for Narrow Passages: With a 3.3Fr (approximately 1.1mm) diameter, these forceps are designed to navigate through small lumens, catheters, and narrow working channels. This makes them suitable for use in endoscopic procedures, such as those performed in the gastrointestinal tract, urology, and other specialties.

Versatile Application: The Cook Medical G14921 Rat Tooth Forceps can be used across a wide range of specialties, including gastroenterology, pulmonology, urology, and interventional radiology. Their adaptability to different clinical environments and procedures makes them an essential tool for various minimally invasive techniques.

Durable and High-Quality Construction: Made from high-grade stainless steel and medical-grade materials, these forceps are designed for longevity and repeated use. They maintain their integrity and performance through multiple sterilizations, ensuring they remain a reliable part of the surgical toolkit.

User-Friendly Design: The forceps are ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use during extended procedures. The flexible shaft retains its shape while allowing the user to navigate complex anatomical pathways with minimal effort, reducing hand fatigue.

Enhanced Visualization and Access: The slim profile and flexible nature of the instrument make it compatible with a variety of endoscopic systems. This allows for clear visualization of the surgical site while providing ample space for other instruments if needed.

Clinical Applications

The Cook Medical G14921 Rat Tooth Forceps with Flexible Shaft 3.3Fr. is commonly used in:

Endoscopy: Retrieval of foreign bodies, tissue samples, or polyps in the gastrointestinal tract or airways.
Laparoscopy: Fine tissue manipulation in minimally invasive abdominal surgeries.
Urology: Grasping and removing stones or other objects during ureteroscopy or cystoscopy.
Interventional Radiology: Assisting in catheter-based procedures or navigating narrow vascular pathways.

The Cook Medical G14921 Rat Tooth Forceps with Flexible Shaft 3.3Fr. is a versatile and reliable tool for minimally invasive surgical procedures requiring delicate tissue handling. Its combination of precise rat tooth tips and a flexible shaft enables effective manipulation of tissues and foreign objects in complex anatomical areas. The instrument’s small diameter, ergonomic design, and durable construction make it an essential addition to the surgical toolkit, particularly in specialties where precision and flexibility are paramount.
