Laryngeal Cup Forceps Upbiting Alligator 8.75in

Laryngeal Cup Forceps | Upbiting Alligator | 8.75" Shaft | Stainless Steel | Reusable

These Laryngeal Cup Forceps are precision-engineered for microsurgical endolaryngeal procedures. Featuring a specialized upbiting alligator-style jaw, this instrument allows the surgeon to grasp, biopsy, or manipulate tissue at a superior angle (upward) while maintaining a clear line of sight through the laryngoscope.

The 8.75-inch (22.2 cm) shaft provides the necessary reach to access the glottis and subglottic regions without the bulky handles obstructing the surgical field. Constructed from high-grade surgical stainless steel, this instrument is designed for the high-precision requirements of phonosurgery and airway management.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision Upbiting Geometry: The upward-angled "bite" is specifically designed to address lesions on the superior surface of the vocal folds or within the laryngeal vestibule that are difficult to reach with straight or downbiting instruments.

• Alligator-Style Actuation: Only the top portion of the jaw moves during actuation. This ensures that the lower jaw remains a stable platform, allowing for pinpoint accuracy during delicate tissue sampling or foreign body removal.

• Ultra-Slim Shaft Profile: The 8.75-inch shaft is engineered to be as thin as possible to maximize the available space within a laryngoscope or bronchoscope, reducing the "crowding" of the surgical field.

• Ergonomic Ring Handle: The spring-loaded handle provides immediate tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to feel the consistency of the tissue being grasped, which is critical during biopsy of suspicious laryngeal lesions.

• Atraumatic Cup Design: The cups are precision-honed to provide a clean tissue sample (biopsy) without tearing or crushing the surrounding delicate mucosal layers of the vocal cords.

Applications

• Laryngoscopy & Phonosurgery: Removal of vocal cord polyps, nodules, or cysts.

• Endolaryngeal Biopsy: Obtaining precise tissue samples for histopathological examination.

• Foreign Body Extraction: Securely grasping small or slippery objects from the upper airway.

• Microsurgical Airway Management: Manipulation of tissue during CO2 laser or cold-steel airway reconstructions.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument exhibits standard signs of professional use but remains fully functional. The upbiting jaw mechanism is fluid, the cups align perfectly with a clean "close," and the stainless steel surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned and inspected for structural integrity.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical services and ENT instrumentation, Primis Medical ensures all specialized laryngeal tools are function-tested to meet clinical expectations.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the delicate alligator hinge and cup alignment remain pristine during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
