Snowden-Pencer 90-7064 5mm Laparoscopic Crocodile Grasper Axial Handle 18-3/4"

Snowden-Pencer 90-7064 5mm x 18-3/4" Bariatric Crocodile Grasping Forceps

The Snowden-Pencer 90-7064 is a premium laparoscopic instrument engineered for maximum traction and surgeon comfort. The Crocodile jaw geometry features deep, interlocking serrations that provide a mechanical advantage when handling "difficult" tissues that require constant, high-tension retraction. To further reduce surgeon fatigue, this model is equipped with a Ratchet-Style Axial Handle, which allows the jaws to be locked onto the tissue, freeing the surgeon to focus on dissection without maintaining constant hand pressure.

This instrument is fully insulated for safe monopolar electrosurgery applications, allowing for hemostasis during grasping maneuvers. With a specialized 18-3/4 inch (47.5 cm) working length, the 90-7064 is an essential addition to any bariatric or advanced general surgery tray, providing the extra depth required to navigate complex anatomy through a 5mm trocar.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Secure "No-Slip" Retraction: The aggressive crocodile teeth are specifically designed to "bite" into fibrous or inflamed tissue, preventing the accidental releases that can lead to surgical delays or tissue trauma.

• Extended Bariatric Reach: The 47.5 cm shaft is approximately 40% longer than standard instruments, providing critical access in patients with a deep subcutaneous fat layer or wide abdominal girth.

• Axial Handle Ergonomics: The inline axial design mimics the natural alignment of the forearm and wrist, reducing the risk of carpal tunnel strain during long laparoscopic cases.

• Safe Energy Delivery: High-dielectric insulation protects the patient from stray current and thermal spread, ensuring energy is delivered only to the target tissue at the jaw tips.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The axial ratchet mechanism engages crisply and holds firmly under tension. The crocodile jaws align with 100% precision, and the insulation is intact throughout the shaft length.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical usage, including surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina. These are purely cosmetic and do not impact the mechanical or electrical integrity of the device.

• 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.
