Gerald-DeBakey tissue forceps 9 1/2" straight 1.0mm atraumatic tips flat handle

Controlled Tissue Handling with Extended, Atraumatic Reach

The Gerald-DeBakey tissue forceps is a 9 1/2-inch straight forceps designed for controlled tissue handling during surgical procedures. Its 1.0 mm atraumatic tips support careful grasping, while the flat handle provides a familiar surface for steady instrument manipulation. The extended length can help maintain working distance when access or visualization is important, making this forceps a practical option for General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. Its straight tissue-jaw pattern offers direct alignment with the operative field and supports precise handling tasks where a slim tip profile and measured control are valued.

Use Cases

• Handling tissue during General Surgery procedures requiring a straight forceps profile and fine atraumatic tips.
• Supporting Neurosurgery workflows where extended reach and controlled tissue manipulation are useful.
• Grasping and repositioning tissue with the 1.0 mm atraumatic tip configuration.
• Maintaining direct instrument alignment with the operative field using the straight jaw pattern.
• Using the flat handle for deliberate manual positioning during tissue-handling tasks.
