Description
The Karl Storz N2994 Upward‑Biting Grasping Forceps is a precision surgical instrument designed for grasping, retrieving, and manipulating tissue or material in confined operative fields, particularly in endoscopic, ENT, or minimally invasive procedures.
This instrument features a short shaft (~4 1/2 in) with an angled head and upward-biting jaws at the distal end. The opposing jaws allow controlled grasping and removal, while the offset/angled configuration improves access and visibility in difficult-to-reach anatomical areas.
The ring-handle design with a ratcheting mechanism provides stable, controlled operation and allows the instrument to maintain grip without continuous hand pressure. Its compact size enhances maneuverability, making it ideal for precision work in smaller surgical spaces. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is durable and suitable for repeated sterilization.
