MaxLife LZGR17 Laparoscopic Grasper Forceps Rotating Ratchet Handle

MaxLife Laparoscopic Grasper | Rotating Ratchet Handle | 19.5" | LZGR17

The MaxLife LZGR17 is a high-performance, reusable laparoscopic instrument engineered for precise tissue manipulation during minimally invasive surgery. Featuring an extended 19.5-inch (approx. 50cm) overall length, this grasper is specifically designed to provide the reach necessary for bariatric or deep-pelvic procedures, allowing surgeons to navigate through standard trocar ports to access challenging anatomical sites.

Equipped with a 360° rotational collar and a ratcheting scissor-style handle, the LZGR17 offers a superior level of tactile control. The ratcheting mechanism allows for a "lock-and-hold" functionality, which is essential for stable tissue retraction, while the finger-tip rotation ensures perfect jaw orientation without requiring the surgeon to adjust their wrist position.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: MaxLife

• Model / REF: LZGR17

• Overall Length: 19.5 inches

• Shaft Material: Surgical Grade Stainless Steel

• Handle Type: Scissor-Style with Integrated Ratchet

• Functionality: 360° Shaft Rotation

• Compatibility: Fits standard 5mm laparoscopic trocars

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Extended Surgical Reach: The 19.5-inch profile makes this instrument an ideal choice for larger patients or procedures requiring deep abdominal access, providing a significant advantage over standard-length laparoscopic tools.

• Precision Rotational Control: The ergonomic collar at the proximal end of the shaft allows for effortless, one-handed rotation of the jaws. This ensures optimal grasping angles for atraumatic tissue handling and improved visualization.

• Tactile Ratchet Mechanism: The handle's ratcheting feature provides multi-step locking, allowing the surgeon to maintain a secure grip on tissue or organs during prolonged retraction without constant hand pressure, significantly reducing surgeon fatigue.

• Insulated Stainless Steel Shaft: The high-quality shaft is designed for smooth insertion through trocars and is finished to resist corrosion and wear from repeated 2026 sterilization cycles.

• Versatile Application: While primarily a grasper, the robust jaw design and rotational capability make it suitable for a wide range of tasks, including tissue retraction, blunt dissection, and specimen management.

Ideal Applications

• General Laparoscopy: Cholecystectomies, appendectomies, and hernia repairs.

• Gynecologic Surgery: Hysterectomies and cystectomies requiring deep pelvic access.

• Bariatric Surgery: Essential for procedures where increased shaft length is required to traverse adipose tissue.

• Teaching & Simulation: A durable, high-quality instrument for surgical residency training and lab environments.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Mechanical Health: The rotational collar moves smoothly, and the ratchet mechanism engages and releases crispness. The jaws are perfectly aligned and free of burrs or significant wear.

• Cosmetic Note: Shows only light wear consistent with careful prior clinical use.

• Maintenance: This instrument is REUSABLE. It must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized via validated steam autoclave protocols in accordance with your facility's guidelines and the manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical application.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized, elongated packaging to prevent bending of the 19.5" shaft and to protect the precision handle assembly during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
