Monopolar Potts Smith Hand Switch Forceps 20cm with 3 Meter Cable

The Monopolar Potts Smith Hand Switch Forceps are specialized electrosurgical forceps designed for controlled tissue handling and compatible monopolar electrosurgical applications. The instrument combines a Potts Smith forceps configuration with an integrated hand switch and a 3-meter cable.

The 20 cm instrument length provides a controlled working profile, while the extended cable supports connection to compatible electrosurgical equipment where additional cable reach is required.

Design and Configuration

The forceps feature a Potts Smith configuration with an integrated hand switch for electrosurgical control. The instrument has a specified overall length of 20 cm.

The included 3-meter cable provides the electrical connection between the hand-switch forceps and compatible electrosurgical equipment. The exact connector type and working-tip configuration were not specified.

Monopolar Electrosurgical Function

The instrument is designed for monopolar electrosurgical applications. When connected to compatible equipment, the forceps can function as the active electrosurgical instrument within the appropriate system.

The exact electrical specifications and generator compatibility should be confirmed from the applicable product documentation before use.

Hand Switch Configuration

The integrated hand switch allows the operator to control the electrosurgical function directly from the instrument. This provides a convenient control arrangement without requiring a separate hand-operated control.

20 cm Instrument Length

The forceps have a specified overall length of 20 cm, providing the stated working profile for suitable surgical applications. The exact jaw dimensions and working-tip characteristics were not provided.

3 Meter Cable

The included 3-meter cable provides extended connection reach between the forceps and compatible electrosurgical equipment. The cable should be inspected for visible damage, wear, or deterioration before use.

Surgical Applications

The forceps are intended for compatible surgical procedures requiring controlled tissue handling with monopolar electrosurgical functionality. Specific applications depend on the surgical specialty, procedure requirements, instrument configuration, and compatible electrosurgical equipment.

Handling and Use Considerations

The instrument should be handled by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. Before use, inspect the forceps, hand switch, insulation, cable, and connector for visible damage, contamination, or abnormal wear.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Follow the applicable manufacturer and healthcare-facility procedures for cleaning and reprocessing. Particular attention should be given to the hand switch, cable, connector, insulation, and working tips during inspection.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization requirements were not specifically provided. Where reusable processing is applicable, follow the validated sterilization protocol specified for the instrument. Inspect the forceps and cable before each use and remove them from service if damage or deterioration is identified.
