Codman Russian Tissue Forceps | Model 30-4221 | 7.0 mm Circular Radiating Micro-Teeth Cup Profile | 8.0 Inch Nominal Total Length (20.3 cm) | Heavy-Duty Traumatic Tissue Grasping Assembly | Reusable Capital General Surgical Instrumentation Asset (1/EA)

The Codman 30-4221 is a professional-grade, hospital-level surgical instrument expertly engineered to grasp, lift, retract, and manipulate dense tissues, organs, fascia, and thick skin layers during major surgical interventions. Part of an industry-standard general surgery and specialty instrumentation portfolio, this thumb-actuated tissue forcep features an overall nominal length of 8.0 inches (20.3 cm structural profile) coupled with 7.0 mm diameter Russian-style grasping tips. The active tip geometry features a unique circular, cup-shaped spoon layout lined with rows of radially cut micro-teeth along the outer perimeter. This engineering blueprint distributes manual compression forces evenly across captured tissue bundles, providing an exceptionally secure, non-slip grip on heavy organs or tough fascial flaps while minimizing localized crushing injuries or unexpected tissue slippage under tension. Forged from high-tensile, passivated surgical stainless steel with a non-glare satin finish, this mechanical tool contains no electronics or internal springs, rendering it fully calibrated to withstand automated washer debridement, high-frequency ultrasonic clearing, and strict dynamic steam autoclave sterilization cycles inside central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
