Laschal - Surgical & Restorative Instruments

A problem exists in handling fragile tissue and materials with conventional steel forceps. Since forceps are frequently used in the non-dominant hand (while concentration is fixed on operating with the dominant hand), excessive closing force can be applied, inadvertently causing iatrogenic damage to tissue or distortion of restorative components. Tactile feedback is limited due to the weight of the forceps and their inflexibility when they reach optimum closing force. Even in the dominant hand, hardened steel forceps do not have the ability to flex and relieve stress. The constant tension required to maintain retention increases hand fatigue and makes relaxed operation impossible.

Pressure-controlled Forceps from Laschal revolutionize surgical and restorative techniques with a completely new concept in forceps design. They combine strength and tactile sensitivity without compromise. Unlike non-flexible steel forceps, the patented spring steel I-beam handle of all Laschal Pressure-controlled Forceps flexes upon closure of the tips. Complemented by the interlocking male-female springs, this “open” system transfers 95% of all excess closing pressure to the handle to prevent over-closing and crushing of tissue or materials. The distal release of pressure virtually eliminates splaying of tips. Diamonddusted, serrated or smooth tips are meticulously engineered and matched to the forceps function. With the advantages of "pressure-control" and adjustable handle geometry, a perfect grip is assured in either hand with minimal force.
