ROCHESTER-PEAN 18 cm forceps – Stability and efficiency for professional use
The ROCHESTER-PEAN 18 cm forceps manufactured by Frimed are medical clamping instruments renowned for their strength and effectiveness in the operating theatre. Measuring 18 cm in length, it belongs to the haemostatic forceps family and is distinguished by its straight shape and finely striated jaws. These transverse striations, which are regular along the entire length of the active branch, allow for reliable gripping of tissue or vascular structures without slipping, while minimising the risk of local trauma.
Frequently used in general, abdominal and vascular surgery, the ROCHESTER-PEAN is particularly suitable for temporarily clamping blood vessels, holding tissue or maintaining sterile compresses during a procedure. Its ratchet lock keeps the instrument closed without prolonged effort on the part of the user, facilitating work in prolonged or complex conditions. The ergonomic rings make it comfortable to hold, and the straight shaft ensures high precision.
The 18 cm version is ideal for those looking for a compromise between sufficient length and optimal manoeuvrability. Unlike other sizes of the ROCHESTER-PEAN model, this format allows effective intervention in moderately deep areas without hindering the practitioner's visibility or dexterity. Its symmetrical and balanced design ensures excellent control, even in procedures where speed and precision are required.
Made from medical-grade stainless steel, the Frimed ROCHESTER-PEAN 18 cm forceps are autoclavable, corrosion-resistant and compatible with hospital sterilisation protocols. They meet the high quality standards required in the medical sector. They fit easily into any type of technical tray or general surgery kit.
This model also stands out for its straight, elongated shape, which distinguishes it from other forceps of the same name that may be available in curved versions or with partial serrations. It is this straight, fully serrated design that makes it a benchmark tool in haemorrhage management and soft tissue manipulation. Its proven effectiveness makes it a safe bet for any healthcare professional looking for reliability.
