Schnidt forceps have long, curved jaws for dissection and clamping in tonsillectomy and deep fields.

Design features

• Box joint for durable jaw alignment
• Ratchet lock to hold the jaws closed
• Lengths 12 to 19 cm

Typical applications

• Tonsillectomy
• Deep dissection

Care

Process with the ratchet open. Do not use hemostatic forceps as needle holders or on hard objects, which spoils jaw alignment. Check that the jaws close evenly and the ratchet holds.
