Ogawa Tying Forceps

The Ogawa Tying Forceps are specialized microsurgical instruments designed for controlled handling of fine sutures, knot tying, and delicate tissue manipulation. Their slim profile, fine working tips, and ergonomic configuration provide a dedicated forceps pattern for procedures where detailed manual control is required.

The current Peak Surgicals range includes two selectable configurations: PS-8339 Straight and PS-8340 Curved. The product is listed within Peak Surgicals' ophthalmology forceps range and is also referenced for vascular, cardiovascular, plastic and reconstructive, neurosurgical, and general microsurgical applications.

Fine Precision Tips for Microsurgical Handling

The current Peak Surgicals description identifies extremely fine precision tips as a defining feature of the Ogawa pattern. This compact working end is intended for handling fine sutures and performing controlled knot-tying tasks during microsurgery.

The exact tip width, tip length, tying-platform dimensions, and surface geometry are not stated on the current product page. Buyers requiring specific working-end measurements should therefore confirm them before ordering.

PS-8339 Straight Configuration

One available variant is identified as PS-8339 Straight. The straight configuration maintains a direct working axis between the handle and distal tips and can be selected where this instrument orientation matches the surgeon's microsurgical technique.

The live product header also displays PS-8339 as the current SKU, making the straight configuration the code shown most prominently on the storefront.

PS-8340 Curved Configuration

The second selectable variant is PS-8340 Curved. The curved configuration provides an alternative working approach where an angled distal profile is preferred for access within the surgical field.

The exact degree of curvature and curved-section dimensions are not stated on the current Peak Surgicals page.

Designed for Microsuture and Knot Tying

Peak Surgicals specifically describes the Ogawa Tying Forceps for delicate suturing and knot-tying techniques. The fine tips allow the instrument to engage small sutures during procedures requiring controlled manipulation.

The current product page does not specify a minimum or maximum suture size, so suture compatibility should not be assumed from specifications published for another manufacturer's Ogawa forceps.

Slim and Ergonomic Instrument Profile

The existing product information describes a slim profile and ergonomic shape. This provides a compact microsurgical forceps configuration designed for detailed instrument handling within small operative fields.

The exact overall length, handle width, grip dimensions, and instrument weight are not provided on the current page.

Ophthalmic Microsurgery Application

Peak Surgicals lists the Ogawa Tying Forceps within its Ophthalmology Instruments / Ophthalmic Forceps range and specifically references ophthalmic microsurgery among the product applications.

The live listing does not assign this exact model to a specific cataract, corneal, retinal, or other ophthalmic procedure. Procedure-specific use should therefore be determined by the operating surgeon.

Vascular and Cardiovascular Microsurgery

The current description also references vascular and cardiovascular procedures. Fine tying forceps may be selected in these surgical settings where small sutures and delicate structures require controlled handling.

The current page does not state vessel-size compatibility, suture-size compatibility, or a specific cardiovascular procedure for PS-8339 or PS-8340.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Peak Surgicals additionally identifies plastic and reconstructive surgery among the applications of the Ogawa Tying Forceps. These specialties can involve fine suturing and delicate tissue manipulation where a dedicated microsurgical forceps is required.

Final selection between the straight and curved variants should depend on operative access and surgeon preference.

Neurosurgical and General Microsurgical Use

The current product information also references neurosurgical procedures and general microsurgery. This positions the Ogawa pattern as a fine tying and manipulation instrument used across more than one microsurgical specialty.

The exact procedure and method of use should be determined according to the surgical technique and anatomical structures being handled.

Material Options Referenced on the Product Page

The existing Peak Surgicals description references premium stainless steel and titanium-alloy versions of Ogawa Tying Forceps. However, the live variant selector currently distinguishes the product by Straight and Curved configuration rather than clearly assigning a material to each variant.

For this reason, buyers requiring stainless steel or titanium should confirm the material of the selected PS-8339 or PS-8340 configuration before ordering. The exact stainless-steel and titanium alloy grades are also not stated.

Reusable Microsurgical Instrument

The current product description references cleaning and autoclave-based sterilization as part of instrument care. Reprocessing should follow the applicable manufacturer's instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the fine distal tips. Before reuse, inspect the forceps for tip misalignment, deformation, surface damage, retained material, or restricted movement that could affect normal handling.

Product Specifications

For Ophthalmic and Microsurgical Procurement

The Ogawa Tying Forceps are relevant for ophthalmology departments, vascular and cardiovascular surgical services, plastic and reconstructive surgery centers, neurosurgical departments, microsurgical facilities, distributors, and procurement teams sourcing fine tying forceps.

For accurate purchasing, buyers should specify either PS-8339 Straight or PS-8340 Curved. Buyers requiring exact overall length, tip dimensions, tying-platform size, material variant, stainless-steel grade, or titanium alloy grade should confirm those specifications before ordering because they are not clearly provided for each configuration on the current product page.

Frequently Asked Questions
