Modified USA Narrow 120mm — SILS Hand Surgery

Modified USA Narrow 120mm — SILS Hand Surgery

The 120mm Modified USA Narrow dressing forceps serves small-incision and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) hand-surgery procedures — the trans-thenar small-incision carpal-tunnel release, the single-incision Dupuytren-cord-fasciotomy, and the SILS modifications of routine open hand operations. The narrow 12cm forceps fits the smaller incisions while preserving American-tradition hand-surgery technique.

The SILS hand-surgery evolution

Small-incision hand surgery has emerged as an alternative to standard open hand procedures, with comparable outcomes and reduced post-operative discomfort. The technique requires specialised instruments designed for the smaller working space — the 120mm Modified USA Narrow fits this niche.

The percutaneous-needle-aponeurotomy comparison

Percutaneous needle aponeurotomy for Dupuytren’s contracture is an alternative to surgical fasciotomy — uses a needle through the skin to divide the contracture cord without an open incision. The 120mm Modified USA Narrow remains for the cases where surgical fasciotomy is preferred (more advanced contracture, recurrence after needle aponeurotomy, patient preference).
