Laparoscopic Maryland Dissecting Forceps

Description

Laparoscopic Maryland Dissecting Forceps, sometimes known as Maryland dissectors or simply Marylands, are essential tools in minimally invasive surgery, especially laparoscopy.

• Function:  Maryland dissecting forceps are double-action gripping devices used for the careful dissection and separation of tiny tissues during laparoscopic surgeries.
• Tip Design: They have fine, curving jaws with horizontal serrations. The curved form provides superior vision when the laparoscope is positioned straight down the instrument’s shaft. The serrations give a tight grasp on tissues without causing significant harm.
• Material: Made of high-quality stainless steel, usually German, for durability and compatibility with surgical sterilizing processes such as autoclaving.
• Size and Handling: These forceps usually have a diameter of roughly 5mm and a length of around 33cm. They include an ergonomic grip design for easy holding during operation.
• Versatility: Maryland dissectors are utilized in a variety of laparoscopic surgeries carried out by different specializations. Their gripping and dissecting powers make them a versatile tool for laparoscopic surgeons.
• Electrocautery Compatibility: Many Maryland dissectors are compatible with monopolar electrosurgery devices. This enables the simultaneous dissection and coagulation of blood arteries during surgery.
