Maximum Traction: Kocher Hemostatic Forceps 14cm Straight (Fig. 1)

In the operating room There are times when a solid foundation must support the precision of the technique. In the case of difficult, slippery or high-tension tissue that might easily slide out of an ordinary clamp or a splint, using the Kocher Hemostatic Forceps (14cm straight, Figure 1)--also popularly referred to as the Ochsner-Kocher is the best solution. Built to withstand heavy-duty gripping, this device is essential for any procedure needing a grip that does not break under pressure.

The "Bite" of the 1x2 Teeth

The distinctive characteristic in Kocher's design is that the most unique feature of the Kocher style is its 2 interlocking teeth situated in the distal tips. Contrary to a Pean or Crile forcep, which uses an elongated tip, the Kocher has only one tooth in one jaw that perfectly fits in between the two teeth of its opposite jaw.

The Fig. 1 Straight profile of 14cm offers:

  • No-Slip Grasp: The teeth penetrate the tissue to create an electronic lock that ensures the instrument remains in the spot it was put.
  • Direct Leverage Straight design allows for the greatest force while pulling back or retracting large muscles or fascia.
  • Accurate placement: The linear alignment makes it easy to use for "tagging" heavy sutures or clamping large exposed veins.

Engineered for Durability: Stainless Steel

To be able to deliver such force, the choice of material is essential. The Kocher forceps are constructed from premium Stainless Steel, which provides:

  • Torsional Strength Steel is tempered to ensure that the jaws don't twist in a "scissor" even when clamping the strongest ligaments.
  • Corrosion Resistance The high chromium content shields the instrument from the oxidative stress caused by surgery fluids and autoclave cycles.
  • Hygienic Surface The non-porous surface is able to prevent biofilm build-up, which makes it easy to remove contaminates between applications.
