GERALD curved dissection forceps, 17.5 cm with 1x2 jaws: for fine, targeted gripping in surgery
The 17.5 cm GERALD forceps from Frimed, shown here in its curved jaw version with 1x2 claws, are distinguished by their shape, which is specially adapted to surgical dissections requiring finesse, control and increased visibility. With its medium length of 17.5 cm, it offers optimal manoeuvrability during procedures, allowing stable tissue grasping without compromising visibility of the surgical field.
Its curved shape, often sought after in microsurgical procedures or in anatomical areas with restricted access, facilitates the orientation of the forceps without having to change the position of the hands. This reduces fatigue for the practitioner while ensuring continuity of movement. This design also helps to minimise the risk of tissue trauma, as the jaws can be inserted into the axis of the structures to be manipulated without excessive force.
The 1x2 claw jaws offer a firm but precise grip: one tooth fits perfectly between two smooth spaces on the opposite arm, ensuring stability without slipping, even on thin, moist or fragile tissue. This system prevents crushing of structures while ensuring reliable hold. It is therefore perfectly suited to cardiovascular, peripheral vascular or plastic surgery, where every movement must be measured and precise.
Manufactured by Frimed, these forceps meet the demanding standards of modern surgery thanks to their meticulous finish and surgical stainless steel that is resistant to corrosion and repeated sterilisation cycles. The ergonomic grooved handle provides a stable grip, even with wet gloves, ensuring comfort and safety during prolonged use.
This GERALD model is often chosen by surgical teams for its ability to combine precision, finesse and robustness in a compact format without compromising on efficiency. Its slim, slightly curved shape is an undeniable advantage in environments where every millimetre counts. It is a tool that perfectly meets clinical requirements, particularly in specialised operating theatres.
