FUNDUS GRASPER FORCEPS

Fundus Grasper Forceps are specialized surgical instruments primarily used in laparoscopic (minimally invasive) procedures, especially during bariatric surgeries like laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.

Purpose:

• Specifically designed to grasp and manipulate the fundus of the stomach.
• Helps in elevating, retracting, or holding the stomach tissue during dissection or stapling.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: To hold and position the fundus for proper stapling and resection.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): For mobilizing and retracting the fundus.

General Laparoscopic Surgery: When strong, secure grasping of soft tissue is needed.

Design Characteristics:

1. Long, slender shaft: Ideal for minimally invasive access.
2. Fenestrated or toothed jaws: Designed to provide a firm yet atraumatic grip on stomach tissue.
3. Ergonomic handle: Often with a ratchet mechanism for locking in place.
4. Insulated shaft: For compatibility with electrosurgical use (if applicable).
5. Materials: Typically made from high-grade stainless steel.
