Laryngeal Alligator Forceps 17cm – Apex-Grip Specimen Anchor & Clear-Path Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Laryngeal Alligator Forceps (17cm) for Emergency Foreign Body Retrieval

The Laryngeal Alligator Forceps 17cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement and extraction of foreign objects from the glottic and subglottic regions. Functioning as a high-performance specimen anchor, this 17cm model features a specialized “alligator” jaw mechanism where only the top blade moves, allowing for precise grasping in extremely confined spaces. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield accessory is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the surgeon with the tactile sensitivity required to retrieve delicate items without pushing them further into the airway. By utilizing the Laryngeal Alligator Forceps 17cm, practitioners benefit from a low-profile shaft that maintains a clear line of sight under endoscopic or microscopic guidance. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their mechanical precision and structural resilience.
