DUVAL forceps 14 cm – Frimed: reliability and precision for atraumatic grasping
The Frimed DUVAL forceps, measuring 14.0 cm, is an atraumatic surgical instrument mainly used for the delicate grasping of soft tissues such as the lungs, intestines or uterine tissue. Its design aims to minimise the risk of injury, making this tool particularly suitable for specialities such as thoracic, abdominal or gynaecological surgery. The jaws of the forceps feature a large, fenestrated gripping surface that allows them to conform to the structure of the tissue without exerting excessive pressure. This promotes better visualisation and reduces the risk of cell crushing, which is crucial during repeated manipulation of fragile organs.
Made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, the DUVAL forceps are fully resistant to standard sterilisation processes (autoclave, chemical treatments), ensuring durability and hygiene. Its smooth finish and perfectly rounded edges help to minimise trauma during invasive procedures. Its grip is optimised by non-slip grooves on the arms, providing a firm hold even in wet or prolonged conditions.
The DUVAL model is standardised to a length of 14 cm, making it ideal for precise handling in medium-sized cavities. It is one of the forceps known as "tissue forceps". This instrument is essential in general or specialised surgical kits, particularly for professionals seeking a combination of fine grip and tissue integrity.
The DUVAL forceps are also popular in laparotomy procedures or caesarean sections to temporarily hold organs without compromising their structure. This strategic role in atraumatic tissue management makes this instrument a fundamental tool for surgeons who are keen to preserve the functional anatomy of their patients as much as possible.
