8 3/4″ Green-Armytage Uterine Forceps – 13 mm Jaw

8 3/4″ Green-Armytage Uterine Forceps – 13 mm Jaw are precision surgical instruments commonly used by gynecologists, obstetricians, and pelvic surgeons during cesarean sections, hysterectomy procedures, and other uterine surgeries. These forceps are specifically designed for grasping uterine edges, securing surgical drapes, and controlling bleeding from the uterine incision site. The broad 13 mm jaws provide a secure grip while helping minimize tissue trauma. The characteristic Green-Armytage jaw design allows effective clamping of soft tissue and vascular structures, making these forceps particularly valuable during cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage management. An integrated ratchet locking mechanism maintains consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force, improving procedural efficiency and reducing hand fatigue. With an overall length of 8 3/4 inches (approximately 22 cm), these forceps offer an optimal balance of reach, visibility, and maneuverability during obstetric and gynecological procedures. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument delivers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operating room lighting and supports efficient cleaning and maintenance. Fully reusable and autoclavable, these forceps are suitable for repeated sterilization cycles and routine use in hospitals, surgical centers, obstetrics departments, gynecology clinics, and teaching institutions.
