Green Armytage forceps are surgical instruments specifically used to grasp and clamp tissue in the uterus, particularly during obstetrical and gynecological procedures.
 
Details of Green Armytage Forceps:
Crafted from high-quality stainless steel for durability and easy sterilization.
Possess wide blades with horizontal serrations to ensure a firm grip on the uterine tissue.
The blades come together at an angle, resembling a clamp.
Include locking ring handles and a ratchet mechanism for controlled clamping force and secure hold on the tissue.
Size:
Green Armytage forceps typically come in a standard length of around 21 centimeters (approximately 8.25 inches).
 
Applications:
Primarily employed in obstetrical procedures like cesarean sections to control bleeding in the uterine wall.
Also used in gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy (uterine removal) and myomectomy (fibroid removal) for grasping and clamping tissues during the procedure.
 
Advantages of Green Armytage Forceps:
Secure hold on tissues due to the wide, serrated blades.
Ratcheting mechanism allows for controlled clamping pressure, minimizing tissue damage.
Relatively simple design facilitates ease of use.
