Negus Hemostatic Forceps – 20cm Curved Serrated Jaws for Tonsil Surgery

Negus Tonsil Artery Forceps: Elite Hemostasis for ENT Procedures

The Negus Tonsil Artery Forceps 20cm from Adas Instruments is a fundamental tool for any advanced ENT surgical set. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, these forceps are specifically designed to navigate the narrow confines of the oral cavity to provide secure clamping of the tonsillar arteries, significantly reducing the risk of post-operative hemorrhage.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Negus forceps undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum longevity and superior corrosion resistance. The box-joint construction is engineered for perfectly aligned jaw closure, while the 20cm length provides the mechanical advantage needed for precise manipulation in adult patients. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the ratchet mechanism locks smoothly and maintains constant pressure throughout the ligation process.

Surgical Applications

• Tonsillectomy: Primary instrument for clamping the vascular pedicle and minor bleeding points within the tonsillar bed.
• Adenoidectomy: Used to manage hemostasis in the nasopharyngeal space.
• Deep Tissue Grasping: Provides stable retraction of mucosal flaps during complex pharyngeal reconstructions.

Care and Maintenance Section

To ensure the longevity of the serrated jaws and ratchet, the forceps must be cleaned in the open position to allow thorough sterilization of the box joint. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any biological residue before autoclaving. Regular application of surgical-grade lubricant is recommended to maintain the smooth action of the rings. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.

People Also Ask

What is the benefit of the Negus curve compared to a standard hemostat?
The specific curvature of the Negus pattern is anatomically matched to the tonsillar fossa, allowing the surgeon to clamp vessels at an angle that does not block the surgical microscope or headlight beam.

Are these forceps available in different sizes?
The 20cm model is the clinical standard for adult tonsillectomy, though smaller variations are often utilized in pediatric airway sets.

Does the ratchet allow for incremental pressure?
Yes, the multi-step ratchet handle allows the surgeon to apply precisely the amount of pressure required to secure the vessel without crushing the surrounding tissue.
