A 16 cm Babcock forceps designed for tissue safety and surgical precision
The BABCOCK 16 cm forceps from Frimed are an essential instrument in surgical disciplines involving the manipulation of delicate tissue. They are specially designed to fit fragile anatomical structures such as intestinal loops, fallopian tubes or vessels, while limiting the risk of necrosis or cell trauma. Unlike other grasping forceps, which can compress or damage tissue, the BABCOCK forceps feature a closed, elliptical loop-shaped tip that gently surrounds the tissue.
This specific 16 cm model features curved, atraumatic jaws with a fine microtexture at the tip. This discreetly striated surface provides better slip resistance without marking or damaging tissue. The result is gentle yet firm stabilisation, ideal for holding smooth, mobile structures such as intestines or fallopian tubes during surgery.
At 16 cm long, it is a standard size that offers the perfect balance between visibility, manoeuvrability and control. Its ratchet locking system keeps the forceps closed without prolonged effort, ensuring optimal operating comfort even during long procedures. The thin, straight shape of its arms facilitates insertion into narrow spaces, making it a versatile tool suitable for various surgical fields, including abdominal and pelvic surgery.
Made of surgical-grade stainless steel, the BABCOCK 16 cm forceps offer excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with all standard sterilisation methods. Their polished surface ensures optimal cleaning and prolongs their durability over time.
This forceps is particularly recommended for digestive, gynaecological and urological surgery requiring a secure, trauma-free grip and high precision. This model stands out from other variants thanks to the elliptical shape of its jaws and their fine serrated finish, which ensure a reliable grip while respecting tissue integrity.
