Kelman-McPherson suturing forceps 3 3/8" angled 45º 8.0mm shafts 1x2 teeth 5.0mm tying platforms narrow handle

Angled control for precise suturing access

The Kelman-McPherson suturing forceps is designed to grasp and guide suture during general surgery and ophthalmic procedures. Its 45º angled profile and 8.0mm shafts support access where a straight approach may be less convenient, while the narrow handle is suited to controlled instrument handling. The 1x2-tooth jaw pattern helps engage suture, and the 5.0mm tying platforms provide a defined working area for tying tasks. With a compact 3 3/8" length, this forceps brings focused reach and maneuverability to technique-sensitive suturing workflows without adding unnecessary bulk.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding suture during general surgical suturing tasks.
• Supporting controlled tying work with the integrated 5.0mm tying platforms.
• Accessing angled working positions where the 45º profile is useful.
• Handling sutures during ophthalmic procedures requiring a narrow, focused instrument profile.
• Using the 1x2-tooth jaw pattern for secure engagement of suture during manipulation.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument instructions for use.
• Inspect the teeth, tying platforms, angled shafts, and handle before and after use for damage, distortion, or debris.
• Handle the jaw tips carefully to help preserve the 1x2-tooth pattern and functional alignment.
• Store the forceps so the jaws and angled shafts are protected from impact or contact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
