Max Plus DANDY ARTERY FORCEPS are specialized surgical instruments used to control bleeding during surgical procedures. They are named after neurosurgeon Walter Dandy, who developed various surgical instruments and techniques.
Key Features:
Fine Tips: Dandy forceps have delicate, narrow tips with fine serrations to securely grasp and clamp small blood vessels without causing excessive trauma to surrounding tissues.
Curved or Angled Jaws: The jaws of Dandy forceps are often curved or angled, allowing surgeons to access vessels in hard-to-reach areas.
Ratchet Mechanism: They have a ratchet mechanism that allows the forceps to lock in place, maintaining a secure grip on the vessel.
Material: Dandy forceps are typically made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
Uses:
Dandy artery forceps are commonly used in various surgical specialties, including:
Neurosurgery: To control bleeding during brain and spinal cord surgeries.
Cardiovascular Surgery: To clamp small vessels during cardiac and vascular procedures.
General Surgery: To manage bleeding in various abdominal and thoracic surgeries.
Plastic Surgery: To control bleeding in delicate procedures involving skin and tissues.
Important Considerations:
Proper Use: Surgeons must be trained and experienced in using Dandy forceps to avoid damaging delicate tissues or blood vessels.
Sterilization: Like all surgical instruments, Dandy forceps must be properly sterilized before each use to prevent infections.
