Modified USA Dressing Forceps 12cm — Vascular Bench Surgery

Modified USA Dressing Forceps — 12cm Vascular Bench Surgery

The 12cm-labelled Modified USA dressing forceps serves vascular bench surgery — the back-table preparation of donor vessels before microvascular anastomosis in transplantation, free-flap, and vascular-reconstruction procedures. Bench surgery is performed on a sterile separate table where the donor vessel or organ is prepared for implantation before the recipient-side procedure begins. The 12cm length and American-pattern handle suit the precise bench-table working position.

The bench-surgery procedure

Donor-vessel bench preparation includes branch ligation, vessel trimming to appropriate length, removal of adventitial fat and connective tissue from the anastomosis site, and (for organs) preparation of multiple vascular and other anatomic structures for the implantation phase. The 12cm Modified USA dressing forceps handles the donor-vessel adventitia during this preparation; the smaller bench-working scale matches the 12cm length precisely.

The transplant-team workflow

Modern transplant operations typically have one team at the recipient and a second at the bench table preparing the organ; the bench team’s instrument tray includes the 12cm Modified USA dressing forceps among other vascular-preparation instruments.
