Strong Atraumatic Clamp Laparoscopic Grasper

Description

The Strong Atraumatic Clamp Laparoscopic Grasper is a surgical device intended for minimally invasive operations such as laparoscopy.

• Function: To grasp and manipulate tissues during surgery.
• Atraumatic Design: Less tissue injury than normal graspers. This is done via characteristics such as smooth gripping surfaces with less tearing.
• Serrations (may or may not be present) have a blunted design to avoid excessive pinching.
• Strength: The moniker “Strong” denotes that it can handle tougher tissues than standard atraumatic graspers. This allows for more secure grabbing and manipulation of harder structures.
• Double Action (D/A) refers to the handle mechanism. D/A enables controlled opening and shutting of the grabbing jaws with one hand.
• Jaw length is typically 40mm, which is the normal size for laparoscopic graspers.
• Jaw Curvature: The jaw may be straight or curved. Straight jaws improve visibility of the grabbing point, whilst curved jaws provide for easier access to corners or behind other structures.
• Monopolar Capability: The grasper may be capable of delivering electrical current for coagulation (closing bleeding vessels).
• Rotating Jaws: Allows for rotation of the grabbed tissue to improve placement or exposure during surgery.
• The three-piece take-apart design makes it easier to clean and sterilize the equipment.
• Carbon Fiber Ratchet Handle: Features a lightweight design for agility and a ratcheting mechanism for secure holding with little hand strain.
