Mikulicz Traction Forceps – 20cm Serrated Jaws for Tonsillectomy

Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps: Robust Traction for Oropharyngeal Surgery

The Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm from Adas Instruments is a vital instrument for maintaining surgical exposure in the oral cavity. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, these Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm  are designed to grasp the tongue firmly and pull it forward or to the side, allowing for a clear and unobstructed view of the tonsillar pillars and posterior pharyngeal wall.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum longevity and resistance to corrosion. The jaws of Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm are specifically widened and deeply serrated to distribute pressure effectively while preventing the tissue from sliding. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the 20cm frame provides the mechanical leverage needed to handle the powerful musculature of the tongue without hand fatigue.

Surgical Applications

• Tonsillectomy: Mikulicz Tongue Holding Forceps 20cm Used to retract the tongue during the removal of the palatine tonsils, especially when a mouth gag is not providing sufficient exposure.
• Oral Biopsies: Provides stable fixation of the tongue for precise tissue sampling or excision of lesions.
• Emergency Airway Management: Can be used to pull the tongue forward to clear the airway in unconscious patients.

Care and Maintenance Section

To preserve the integrity of the serrated jaws, it is essential to clean the forceps in the open position. A soft-bristled brush should be used to remove any biological residue from the cross-serrations before autoclaving. Regular lubrication of the box joint and ratchet mechanism will ensure a smooth surgical experience. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.

People Also Ask

Are the jaws of the Mikulicz forceps atraumatic?
While the jaws are serrated for a secure grip, the edges are rounded to prevent sharp lacerations. However, they should be used with appropriate tension to avoid pressure necrosis.

How does this differ from the Young Tongue Forceps?
The Mikulicz pattern generally features more robust, heavier jaws and a longer overall length (20cm) compared to the standard Young pattern, making it better for adult procedures.

Is the ratchet mechanism suitable for long procedures?
Yes, the high-quality German steel ensures the ratchet remains securely locked throughout the duration of the surgery.
