Surgical Tissue Forceps 41.3 cm (16.3)

Extended Reach for Controlled Obstetric Instrument Handling

The 16 1/4" McClane-Tucker OB Forceps are obstetric forceps intended for controlled grasping and manipulation during general surgical workflows involving obstetric procedures. Their 16 1/4" overall length provides an extended working profile for tasks that call for reach beyond that of shorter forceps, while the familiar forceps format supports deliberate handling by trained surgical personnel. This configuration can help keep instrument movements organized when access, positioning, or working distance are important considerations. As part of an instrument set, the McClane-Tucker OB Forceps offer a purpose-specific option for obstetric handling within facility-defined surgical protocols.

Use Cases

• Use during obstetric surgical workflows that require forceps-based handling or manipulation.
• Support controlled grasping tasks associated with the named OB forceps design.
• Provide extended instrument reach where a 16 1/4" forceps is appropriate for the working approach.
• Include in general surgery instrument setups supporting obstetric procedures.
