Peritoneum forceps, also known as peritoneal forceps or peritoneal grasping forceps, are surgical instruments specifically designed for grasping and handling the peritoneum during various abdominal and pelvic surgical procedures. The peritoneum is a thin, transparent membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organs within it. These forceps are designed to gently grasp and manipulate the peritoneum without causing excessive trauma. Here are some characteristics and types of forceps that may be used for peritoneal manipulation:
Deaver Retractor:
While not a forceps, the Deaver retractor is a common instrument used in abdominal surgery to retract and expose the peritoneum. It has a broad, flat blade that is used to gently lift and hold the abdominal wall, providing better access to the underlying structures.
Mayo Scissors with Tungsten Carbide Inserts:
Mayo scissors with tungsten carbide inserts are designed for cutting and dissecting tissues, including the peritoneum. The tungsten carbide inserts provide durability and maintain sharpness during surgical procedures.
Mixter Dissecting Forceps:
Mixter dissecting forceps have a delicate design with fine tips and are used for dissecting tissues, including the peritoneum. They are commonly used in gynecological and abdominal surgeries.
Allis Tissue Forceps:
Allis tissue forceps have multiple interlocking teeth and are used for grasping and holding tissues, including the peritoneum. They are commonly used in abdominal and pelvic procedures.
Babcock Forceps:
Babcock forceps have a atraumatic, paddle-shaped tips and are used for atraumatically grasping delicate structures, including the peritoneum. They are commonly used in abdominal and pelvic surgeries.
Cushing Vein Forceps:
Cushing vein forceps are fine-tipped forceps with atraumatic jaws, commonly used for delicate tissue manipulation, including handling the peritoneum during neurosurgery.
Kocher Forceps:
Kocher forceps have a toothed design and are commonly used for grasping tissues. While not specific to the peritoneum, they may be used in abdominal procedures to manipulate tissues gently.
Rat-Tooth Forceps:
Rat-tooth forceps have serrated tips and are designed for a stronger grip on tissues. While not specific to the peritoneum, they may be used in abdominal surgeries when a stronger grasp is needed.
