The OB/GYN 8 1/4″ Phaneuf Artery/Uterine Forceps Angled on Flat is a specialized gynecological surgical instrument developed to provide secure vascular clamping and precise tissue handling during a wide variety of obstetric and gynecological procedures. Measuring 8 1/4 inches (approximately 21 cm) in length, this forceps features an angled-on-flat jaw configuration, allowing improved access and visibility when working around the uterus and pelvic structures.

Phaneuf artery/uterine forceps are commonly used to clamp uterine arteries, blood vessels, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissue before ligation or surgical dissection. The instrument plays a critical role in achieving effective hemostasis during procedures such as abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, myomectomy, cesarean section, pelvic reconstructive surgery, and other gynecological operations where dependable vascular control is essential.

The angled-on-flat design provides enhanced access to deep or confined surgical sites while maintaining a flat working orientation for improved precision. This configuration allows surgeons to approach vessels and tissue from optimal angles without obstructing the operative field, improving visibility and facilitating accurate placement during delicate procedures.

Precision-machined serrated jaws deliver a firm, reliable grip on vessels and tissue while minimizing slippage. The atraumatic clamping surface helps maintain tissue integrity during temporary occlusion, supporting safe surgical technique and reducing unnecessary trauma. This combination of secure clamping and precise control makes the instrument suitable for both routine and complex gynecological surgeries.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the OB/GYN 8 1/4″ Phaneuf Artery/Uterine Forceps Angled on Flat offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, staining, and repeated sterilization. The satin-polished finish reduces glare under surgical lighting, enhances visibility, and allows for efficient cleaning and decontamination after each procedure.

The ergonomically designed ring handles provide a comfortable, secure grip for enhanced maneuverability and reduced hand fatigue during prolonged operations. An integrated ratchet locking mechanism enables consistent clamping pressure, allowing the forceps to remain securely engaged without continuous hand pressure. This feature improves surgical efficiency and supports stable vessel occlusion throughout the procedure.

Designed for repeated clinical use, this reusable instrument is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization and approved hospital reprocessing methods. Its durable construction maintains precise jaw alignment, locking performance, and structural integrity through numerous sterilization cycles, making it a dependable addition to professional OB/GYN instrument sets.

Widely trusted by gynecologists, obstetric surgeons, and pelvic surgical specialists, the OB/GYN 8 1/4″ Phaneuf Artery/Uterine Forceps Angled on Flat combines precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and superior durability to deliver consistent performance in demanding surgical environments.
