Description
The Jarit 505‑245 Lahey Thyroid Tenaculum / Forceps is a specialized surgical instrument designed for secure grasping and traction of tissue, particularly in procedures such as thyroid surgery.
This instrument features long, curved shafts (~10 inches) with opposing jaws that meet at the tip, each terminating in small, pointed prongs (tenaculum-style). These prongs allow the instrument to firmly engage and hold tissue, providing stable traction without excessive slippage.
The curved configuration improves access to deeper operative fields, while the ring-handle design with a ratcheting locking mechanism allows the instrument to maintain a secure hold without continuous hand pressure. The combination of fine prongs and long reach makes it well suited for controlled tissue manipulation in delicate but firm structures.
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is durable and suitable for repeated sterilization.
