Extended VATS Reach for Controlled Tissue Handling
The 13 1/2" VATS Duval Forceps is a surgical grasping instrument intended for controlled tissue handling during video-assisted thoracic surgery and related open procedures. Its extended length supports access within deeper operative fields, while the 25mm shaft and 25mm triangular jaws provide a defined working profile for positioning and manipulating tissue. The design is relevant to both cardiovascular and general surgery workflows where reach, visibility, and deliberate instrument placement matter. By combining a long shaft with a broad triangular jaw configuration, this forceps supports practical handling through limited access or deeper approaches without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.
Use Cases
- Grasping and repositioning tissue during video-assisted thoracic surgery workflows.
- Supporting controlled tissue handling when an extended 13 1/2" instrument is useful for access to deeper operative fields.
- Using the 25mm triangular jaws for deliberate placement and manipulation of tissue.
- Applying the forceps within cardiovascular surgical workflows where extended reach and defined jaw geometry support instrument handling.
- Using the instrument in general surgery procedures that require forceps-based grasping and positioning.
Specifications
Care & Handling
- Clean the forceps promptly after use in accordance with facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
- Inspect the shaft and triangular jaws for visible residue, damage, misalignment, or impaired movement before reuse.
- Handle the jaws carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their defined geometry.
- Store the instrument so the shaft and jaws are protected from contact or impact with other instruments.
