Additional Information for Meniscus Retracting Forceps
Meniscus retracting forceps are a type of surgical instrument used in orthopedic procedures, specifically in the field of knee surgery. They are designed to retract and hold the meniscus, a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee joint, during surgical procedures such as meniscus repair or meniscectomy.
These forceps typically have a long, slender handle with a curved or angled tip. The tip is designed to fit around the meniscus and gently retract it, allowing the surgeon to access and work on the affected area without obstructing their view or causing damage to surrounding tissues.
Meniscus retracting forceps are made from high-quality stainless steel or other durable materials to ensure their strength and longevity. They are sterilizable and can be used in both open and arthroscopic knee surgeries.
It's important to note that the use of these forceps requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified medical professionals.
