Prestige Type Grasper 36 cm, Non Rotating, SA with Slide Lock

The Prestige Type Grasper 36 cm Non-Rotating, Single-Action with Slide Lock is designed for surgeons who require reliable tissue grasping and controlled manipulation during laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Its 36 cm working length provides practical reach through laparoscopic access ports while maintaining comfortable handling and precise instrument control. The non-rotating shaft maintains a fixed jaw orientation during use. This design can be useful when consistent positioning of the working end is preferred, allowing the surgeon to maintain a predictable relationship between the handle and the instrument tip. The fixed orientation also simplifies manipulation when repeated rotational adjustment is not required. The instrument incorporates a single-action jaw mechanism , in which the working jaws operate through controlled movement of the handle. This configuration provides straightforward opening and closing of the grasper for holding and manipulating appropriate tissues or surgical materials. The jaw design should be selected according to the specific tissue-handling requirements of the procedure. A slide-lock mechanism provides an additional means of maintaining the instrument in a selected position. Depending on the surgical application and instrument configuration, the locking feature can help maintain controlled grasping without requiring continuous full hand pressure on the handle. This may be particularly useful during procedures requiring stable tissue positioning or sustained manipulation. With a 36 cm shaft , the Prestige Type Grasper offers a balance between working reach and instrument handling. The length is suitable for a variety of laparoscopic applications where access to structures within the operative field requires an extended shaft while maintaining ergonomic control from outside the body. The instrument is intended for use in professional surgical environments and is typically manufactured from durable surgical-grade materials suitable for repeated clinical use when properly maintained. Smooth mechanical operation, properly aligned jaws, and a secure locking mechanism are important characteristics for dependable performance. For reusable instrumentation, appropriate processing is essential. After use, the grasper should be cleaned according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws, joints, shaft, and locking mechanism to remove biological material and prevent residue accumulation. The instrument should then be inspected for proper jaw alignment, smooth opening and closing, structural integrity, and locking function before sterilization and subsequent use. The Prestige Type Grasper 36 cm is therefore a practical choice for laparoscopic instrument sets requiring a non-rotating, single-action tissue grasper with slide-lock functionality . Its combination of working length, fixed shaft orientation, controlled jaw action, and locking capability makes it suitable for professional minimally invasive surgical applications.

FAQs 1. What is a Prestige Type Grasper 36 cm used for? The Prestige Type Grasper 36 cm is used for controlled grasping, holding, and manipulation of tissue or suitable surgical materials during laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures. 2. What does non-rotating mean on this laparoscopic grasper? Non-rotating means the shaft and working jaws maintain a fixed rotational orientation rather than allowing the distal tip to rotate independently around the shaft axis. 3. What does single-action mean? Single-action refers to a jaw mechanism in which the working jaws operate through a single controlled mechanical action of the handle, providing straightforward opening and closing. 4. What is the purpose of the slide lock? The slide lock is designed to help maintain the grasper in a selected position, potentially reducing the need for continuous hand pressure during appropriate grasping or holding tasks. 5. Why is the 36 cm length important? The 36 cm shaft provides extended reach through laparoscopic access while allowing the surgeon to control the instrument from outside the operative field. 6. Is this grasper suitable for laparoscopic surgery? Yes. Its 36 cm length, non-rotating shaft, single-action jaws, and slide-lock configuration are designed for laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical applications. 7. Is the Prestige Type Grasper reusable? It can be reusable when supplied as a reusable surgical instrument and when cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and sterilization are performed according to the applicable manufacturer and healthcare-facility protocols. 8. How should the grasper be sterilized? The instrument should be processed using a validated cleaning and sterilization method appropriate for its construction and manufacturer’s instructions. Always verify the specific instrument’s reprocessing requirements before use. 9. What should be checked before using the grasper? Inspect the shaft, jaws, handle, joints, and slide-lock mechanism. Confirm that the jaws align correctly, open and close smoothly, and that the locking mechanism functions properly.
