Intended for the secure grasping and manipulation of intestinal and soft tissue during open procedures. This model represents the U.S. market variant of the classic Aesculap Allis forceps and is commonly listed as “EA016US” in ERP systems, distributor catalogs, and GPO item masters. The instrument features straight jaws with interlocking 5 × 6 teeth and a locking finger‑ring handle with ratchet, allowing controlled, stable tissue retention while minimizing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. It is widely used in general, visceral, gynecologic, and abdominal surgery.
