Potts-Smith Dissecting Forceps, Tungsten Carbide Lined, 15 cm
Part No.: 10-1106-15
Manufacturer: Zepf
Country of Origin: Germany
The Potts-Smith Dissecting Forceps represent the gold standard in microsurgical instrumentation, combining advanced materials science with precision German engineering. These 15 cm forceps feature TC-20 grade tungsten carbide inserts seamlessly bonded to 1.4404 surgical steel jaws, creating an instrument that outperforms conventional stainless steel forceps in all critical performance parameters. Designed specifically for microsurgical applications requiring sub-millimeter precision, the optimized 1:5 bayonet angle and 7.3g balanced design provide unparalleled control during delicate vascular and tissue dissections. The mirror-polished surface (Ra <0.2µm) and micro-serrated tips (18 teeth/mm) work synergistically to minimize tissue trauma while ensuring positive grip, making these forceps ideal for prolonged procedures in cardiac, transplant, and reconstructive surgeries.
Features:
- Premium TC-20 tungsten carbide inserts offering 30× greater wear resistance than surgical steel.
- Precision 15.0 cm length with 1:5 bayonet angle for optimal ergonomics and visualization.
- 7.3g balanced design reduces hand fatigue during prolonged microsurgical procedures.
- Mirror polish finish (Ra <0.2µm) minimizes tissue drag and adhesion.
- Autoclave-resistant construction withstands 2000+ sterilization cycles at 134°C.
- ISO 7153-1 and ASTM F899 compliant for guaranteed quality standards.
