Overholt Forceps | Dissecting Ligature Hemostatic

Overholt forceps are curved dissecting and ligature-passing instruments for breast surgery and facelift. Their curved jaw design allows the surgeon to pass ligatures around vessels and dissect tissue planes in angles that straight instruments cannot reach.

Key Features

• Design: Curved jaw for ligature passage and tissue dissection
• Application: Breast surgery and facelift dissection and haemostasis
• Material: Stainless steel — autoclavable
• SKU: 0.06 | Price: $22

Clinical Use

Overholt forceps are used in breast surgery and facelift for passing ligatures around vessels for tie-off haemostasis, and for blunt dissection of tissue planes in confined surgical field locations. Their curved design is particularly useful for passing sutures around structures that are not directly visible from the incision angle.

Construction & Care

Made from stainless steel, Overholt forceps are autoclavable at 134°C. Inspect jaw curvature and tip integrity before each surgical case.
