WINTER forceps 28 cm – Extra-wide, completely smooth jaws for a powerful and atraumatic grip
The WINTER 28 cm forceps are a gynaecological surgical instrument used for procedures requiring firm and controlled grasping of uterine tissue, particularly during postpartum extractions, after curettage or when removing residual placental tissue. It is part of the WINTER forceps family, but differs from other variants in the range by the extremely wide and curved shape of its jaws, while maintaining a perfectly smooth and atraumatic surface.
Designed to meet the needs of practitioners during complex and deep manipulations, these forceps have oval, rounded, very wide jaws with no relief. Their increased width allows pressure to be distributed over a large area, thus avoiding excessive compression at any one point. This reduces the risk of injury or perforation while ensuring stable and secure tissue retention. Its curved structure promotes enveloping contact with the tissue, which is particularly useful when extracting clots, thick membranes or consolidated placental fragments.
The choice of completely smooth jaws is a key feature of this model's design: with no teeth or serrations, the instrument offers a reliable alternative to more aggressive forceps while maintaining excellent operational efficiency. This feature is ideal in situations where internal structures must be handled with care, particularly in cases of fragile mucous membranes or a contracted uterus.
With a total length of 28 centimetres, the forceps provide sufficient reach for deep pelvic cavities while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability.
The surgical stainless steel construction guarantees optimal durability, resistance to disinfection and autoclaving without degradation.
This model is therefore ideal for surgeons and gynaecologists looking for a reliable, powerful and gentle instrument for procedures that require precision, comfort and tissue safety.
