Elmed 2745-25/06 5mm Insulated Snake Tooth Grasping Forceps w/ Handle 18-3/4"

Elmed 2745-25/06 5mm x 18-3/4" Insulated Snake Tooth Grasping Forceps

The Elmed 2745-25/06 is a premium laparoscopic grasper engineered for superior traction on high-density or slippery tissues. The hallmark of this instrument is its "Snake Tooth" jaw geometry, which features staggered, interlocking teeth that bite securely into the tissue plane without the need for excessive handle pressure. This makes it an indispensable tool for cholecystectomy (especially for the difficult gallbladder), myomectomy, or any procedure involving thickened, inflamed, or calcified structures.

The instrument is fully insulated with a high-dielectric coating, allowing for safe monopolar electrosurgery applications. Surgeons can provide hemostasis or dissection while maintaining a secure hold, all while minimizing the risk of capacitive coupling or stray current injuries. With a specialized 18-3/4 inch (47.5 cm) length, the 2745-25/06 is specifically designed to meet the anatomical challenges of bariatric surgery, ensuring the surgeon can reach the operative site from a comfortable ergonomic position.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Non-Slip Tissue Control: The snake tooth pattern provides the highest mechanical "bite" in the Elmed 5mm line, preventing accidental tissue release during high-tension maneuvers.

• Extended Surgical Reach: The 47.5 cm shaft is approximately 40% longer than standard instruments, providing essential access in patients with a deep abdominal wall or when working in the posterior pelvic gutters.

• Enhanced Surgeon Safety: The premium insulation is designed to withstand repeated autoclaving without "peeling" at the distal tip, maintaining a safe barrier against electrosurgical burns.

• Surgical-Grade Durability: Crafted from the highest quality stainless steel, ensuring the jaw hinges and handle pivots remain smooth and responsive under heavy loads.

Condition

• Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.

• Functional Assessment: The jaw mechanism is tight with no lateral play. The insulation is intact from the handle to the distal tip, and the spring/pivot action is fluid.

• Cosmetic Status: This instrument is in exceptional condition, showing only minimal signs of prior processing. The stainless steel is bright and the insulation remains smooth.

• Reprocessing Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated Bariatric/Laparoscopic protocols prior to use.
