Young Tongue Holding Forceps 17cm – Vertex-Grip Lingual Anchor & Aero-Lock Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Young Tongue Holding Forceps (17cm) for Superior Lingual Control

The Young Tongue Holding Forceps 17cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the tongue in obstructive airway cases. Functioning as a high-performance lingual anchor, this 17cm model features a robust ratchet mechanism that allows the clinician to maintain constant traction on the tongue muscle with minimal manual effort. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield accessory is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the structural leverage needed to pull the tongue forward and expose the posterior pharynx. By utilizing the Young Tongue Holding Forceps 17cm, practitioners benefit from a vertex-grip jaw design that distributes pressure evenly, preventing localized trauma during prolonged procedures. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their mechanical reliability and structural resilience.
