Sklar Kocher Forceps are a heavy instrument designed to aggressively grasp medium to heavy tissue or occlude heavy, dense vessels. They have horizontal serrations the entire length of the jaw as well as 1 X 2 teeth at the tip. The combination of full serrations plus teeth ensure a firm grip on the tissue or vessel being held. Longer length Kocher Forceps are commonly used in bariatric surgeries and are available either curved or straight. This product is straight with full, horizontally serrated jaws, 1 X 2 teeth, and a length of 12 inches.
