LITTLEWOOD grasping forceps – Tissue efficiency in abdominal surgery
The LITTLEWOOD forceps from Frimed belong to the category of intestinal and tissue forceps. Used in digestive, gynaecological and urological surgery, it plays a central role in the gentle manipulation of soft tissue. Its design allows the surgeon to mobilise intestinal segments or visceral structures with good control, while avoiding damage or perforation.
With a length of 18.5 cm, it offers an intermediate size that is appreciated for its manoeuvrability. Its 2 x 3 tooth configuration is effective at holding tissue without causing major trauma, making it an ideal solution in surgical contexts where preserving tissue integrity is a priority. This type of tooth configuration allows for firm but controlled traction, which is particularly useful during dissections or mobilisation of intestinal loops.
The LITTLEWOOD forceps have no locking mechanism: they are used by applying direct pressure with the operator's hand. This design choice ensures high responsiveness and freedom in adjusting the force applied, which is essential during procedures that require constant adaptation. It is easy to handle thanks to its simple geometry and ergonomic design that meets the constraints of operating theatre use.
Made of surgical stainless steel, it is fully autoclavable, corrosion-resistantand designed for repeated use.
Used daily in hospitals and clinics, the LITTLEWOOD forceps are an essential instrument for surgical teams looking for an effective gripping tool, without any additional mechanisms, for precise and direct work on tissue.
