Lotke Double Action Grasper

Designed for secure, atraumatic tissue manipulation in general surgery procedures, the Lotke Double Action Grasper provides surgeons with exceptional tactile feedback when interfacing with fascial planes, peritoneum, mesenteric vessels, and visceral soft tissues. Engineered for exploratory laparotomy, abdominal resection, soft tissue dissection, and visceral manipulation, the instrument allows precise dissection and approximation along natural anatomical planes across deep abdominal, pelvic, and retroperitoneal surgical fields. Its low-profile working ends preserve line-of-sight into deep operative fields while mitigating collateral tissue trauma.

Precision-crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument combines mechanical durability with responsive manual handling. A precision box-lock joint ensures frictionless articulation with zero lateral jaw deviation, while the finely beveled, micro-machined working tips deliver uniform force distribution. Ultrasonic passivation in accordance with ASTM A967 standards protects the metallurgical microstructure from chemical attack during high-level disinfection. The satin matte finish prevents specular glare under intense surgical lighting, complemented by an ergonomic handle profile engineered to reduce surgeon hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.

Built to withstand the stringent reprocessing cycles of Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD), this instrument is fully validated for repeated steam autoclave sterilization protocols at 134°C (273°F) and automated ultrasonic cleaning. Fully compliant with ISO 13485:2016 quality management systems and CE medical directives, it provides hospitals and surgical clinics with direct manufacturer traceability. As a premier United Surgical instrument, it delivers dependable clinical longevity, corrosion resistance, and verified biocompatibility for high-throughput operating theatre environments.
