The 13-1/2" VATS Node Grasping Forceps with 5mm Shaft and 11mm Oblong Jaws is a specialized surgical instrument designed for precise tissue manipulation in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The 5mm shaft allows for excellent maneuverability and access to confined spaces within the thoracic cavity. The 11mm oblong jaws are serrated to securely grasp and manipulate lymph nodes or other soft tissues with minimal trauma. This makes the forceps ideal for procedures such as lymph node dissection or biopsy in thoracic surgeries.
