11″ Schubert Forceps Curved

The 11″ Schubert Forceps are specialized surgical forceps designed for controlled grasping and manipulation during compatible gynecological procedures. The curved configuration provides an angled working profile that can assist with positioning the jaws around appropriate anatomical structures.

With an overall length of 11 inches, the forceps provide extended reach while maintaining controlled handling. The instrument is intended for applications where a curved forceps configuration is preferable to a straight design.

Design and Configuration

The Schubert Forceps feature a curved configuration with an overall length of 11 inches. The curved profile allows the working end to approach the intended area along a curved path, supporting controlled positioning within the operative field.

The handle and jaw mechanism are designed for controlled opening and closing. The working end should remain properly aligned to support reliable grasping performance.

Working-End Characteristics

The curved working end provides a defined grasping surface for controlled handling of appropriate tissue or structures. The jaws should be inspected before use to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation.

The curved configuration should be preserved during handling, cleaning, and storage to prevent deformation that could affect instrument performance.

Gynecological Surgical Applications

The Schubert Forceps may be suitable for compatible surgical applications requiring:

• Controlled grasping and holding
• Manipulation of appropriate anatomical structures
• Instrument-assisted positioning
• Access around structures where a curved forceps is appropriate
• Gynecological procedures requiring extended instrument reach

The exact clinical application should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the specific procedure and established surgical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

The forceps should be operated with controlled pressure appropriate to the intended application. Excessive force should be avoided to help maintain proper jaw alignment and instrument integrity.

Before use, inspect the jaws, hinge, handle, and shaft for proper alignment, smooth movement, and visible damage.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the forceps according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws and hinge area where biological residue may accumulate.

Following cleaning, inspect the working end for proper alignment and confirm that the forceps open and close smoothly.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before reuse, verify the condition of the curved working end and confirm that the instrument operates correctly.
