The University of Michigan Mixter Forceps are specialized surgical forceps used within cardiovascular and thoracic instrument sets where controlled access, dissection, and handling in deeper operative fields are required. The University of Michigan Mixter pattern is distinguished by its curved working profile and serrated jaws, providing a dedicated configuration for professional cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
The current Peak Surgicals storefront identifies this product as SKU PS-1001AB-1, while the specification section lists Model Number PS-1001AB. The instrument is manufactured from German stainless steel, is reusable, and is available with selectable size and finish options.
The University of Michigan pattern belongs to the Mixter family of specialized surgical forceps used in cardiovascular and thoracic instrumentation. Surgical instrument catalogs describe this specific pattern with strong curved, serrated jaws, providing a working configuration suitable for controlled handling within deeper surgical fields.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not provide exact jaw length, jaw width, curvature measurements, or serration dimensions. These specifications should therefore be confirmed before ordering when a particular working-end geometry is required.
The recognized University of Michigan Mixter pattern incorporates curved serrated jaws. The curved working end provides an angled approach to structures within the operative field, while the serrated surfaces provide a defined gripping area.
Before clinical use, both jaws should be inspected for correct alignment, deformation, surface damage, or other conditions that could interfere with normal forceps operation.
Peak Surgicals lists the University of Michigan Mixter Forceps within its Cardiovascular Instruments – Cardiovascular Forceps range. The instrument is therefore relevant for cardiovascular surgical sets requiring a specialized curved forceps pattern.
Instrument placement and use should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the anatomy, procedure, and structure being handled.
University of Michigan Mixter Forceps are also established within thoracic surgical instrument ranges. Their curved working profile provides a specialized configuration for procedures requiring access and controlled manipulation within deeper operative fields.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not assign this model to one specific thoracic procedure, so procedure-specific compatibility should be determined by the surgical team rather than assumed.
The Mixter family is commonly associated with surgical work where access around deeper structures is required. The University of Michigan configuration provides a curved forceps pattern that can be incorporated into cardiovascular and thoracic sets for controlled surgical manipulation.
The exact jaw geometry and required instrument size should be matched to the procedure and surgeon preference.
The current Peak Surgicals specification confirms German stainless steel construction. The rigid metallic design provides the structure required for a reusable surgical forceps intended for repeated professional handling.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, cardiovascular departments, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific alloy designation or supporting material documentation should confirm that specification before ordering.
Peak Surgicals specifically lists the University of Michigan Mixter Forceps as reusable. The instrument is intended for repeated professional use when appropriately cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility procedures.
Particular attention should be given to the curved serrated jaws, joint, shaft, and handle areas. Before reuse, inspect the instrument for retained debris, corrosion, deformation, jaw misalignment, restricted movement, or visible mechanical damage.
The Peak Surgicals storefront includes a Size selector for this product. Current localized storefront data identifies 6.25-inch and 7.25-inch size options.
Buyers should confirm the required size when ordering, particularly when matching an existing cardiovascular or thoracic instrument set.
The current Peak Surgicals specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finishes. These surface options allow hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams to select a finish suited to their existing instrument inventory.
The required finish should be specified at the time of ordering when a particular surface treatment is needed.
