The VATS Node Grasping Forceps 13″ with 5mm Shaft is a specialized minimally invasive surgical instrument designed for accurate grasping and manipulation of lymph nodes and delicate tissues during thoracic and cardiovascular procedures. Developed for use in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), this forceps provides surgeons with the precision, reach, and control required for complex procedures performed through small access points.

Featuring a 13-inch length with a 5mm shaft, this VATS node grasping forceps is designed to provide excellent access to deep surgical areas while maintaining instrument stability and maneuverability. The slim shaft profile supports minimally invasive techniques by allowing surgeons to operate through small thoracic ports while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.

The 11mm oblong jaws are engineered for secure yet gentle tissue grasping. The carefully designed jaw shape provides a larger contact area for handling lymph nodes, soft tissues, and anatomical structures while reducing the risk of unnecessary compression. This makes the instrument especially suitable for lymph node dissection, biopsy procedures, and thoracic tissue handling where precision is essential.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the Cardiovascular Surgical VATS Node Grasping Forceps offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in demanding surgical environments. The robust construction allows repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining the instrument’s mechanical integrity and precise functionality.

The ergonomic handle design provides comfortable operation and responsive control, helping surgeons perform delicate movements with confidence. The instrument’s balanced construction allows smooth jaw articulation and accurate grasping during minimally invasive procedures. Its specialized design supports improved visualization and controlled tissue handling when working with endoscopic surgical systems.

This VATS Node Grasping Forceps is commonly used in thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, pulmonary procedures, mediastinal lymph node dissection, and minimally invasive surgical applications. It is particularly valuable in procedures requiring precise lymph node retrieval, tissue sampling, or controlled manipulation within confined anatomical spaces.

The extended 13-inch shaft provides the necessary reach for accessing deeper thoracic structures, while the 5mm diameter makes it compatible with many standard VATS access systems. The combination of length, shaft size, and oblong jaw design makes this instrument an effective solution for surgeons performing advanced minimally invasive procedures.

Designed for professional operating rooms, hospitals, and surgical centers, the Cardiovascular Surgical VATS Node Grasping Forceps delivers dependable precision and efficient performance. Its specialized construction supports modern minimally invasive surgical techniques by combining durability, ergonomic handling, and accurate tissue control.

Proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization are essential for maintaining the instrument’s performance and extending its service life. When maintained according to recommended surgical instrument care protocols, this VATS forceps provides consistent reliability across multiple procedures.

For medical professionals requiring a high-quality 13″ VATS node grasping forceps with 5mm shaft and 11mm oblong jaws, this cardiovascular surgical instrument offers the precision, accessibility, and durability needed for advanced thoracic and minimally invasive surgery.
