Jarit Dingman Cartilage Forceps | Model 270-176 | Heavy-Duty Curved Shank | 3/16 x 1/2 Inch Active Serrated Jaws | Angled-on-Side Orientation | 7.25 Inch Total Nominal Length (18.4 cm) | Premium Reusable Orthopedic Bone and Tissue Manipulation Element | Pre-Owned Hospital Surgery Asset (1/EA)

The Jarit 270-176 is a professional-grade, hospital-level orthopedic and plastic surgery instrument expertly engineered to grasp, stabilize, and manipulate dense cartilage, small bone fragments, and tough fibrous tissue. Part of the industry-standard Jarit/Integra LifeSciences Surgical Instrument Portfolio, this Dingman style heavy cartilage clamp features a 7.25 inch total nominal length (18.4 cm working profile). The specialized jaws measure 3/16 inch in width by 1/2 inch in length and are machined with sharp, interlocking cross-serrations designed to bite securely into slick, dense tissues without slipping under high lateral tension. Outfitted with an angled-on-side geometry, the instrument allows the surgeon to maintain an unobstructed line of sight down narrow operative corridors or joint cavities while keeping their hands completely out of the active visual field. Forged from high-tensile, implant-grade surgical stainless steel with a non-glare satin finish, this pre-owned clamp represents a highly durable capital asset optimized to withstand automated washer debridement and strict dynamic steam autoclave sterilization cycles inside central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
