Hartmann Alligator Forceps

Hartmann Alligator Forceps – Precision Microsurgical & Gynecological Grasping Forceps

Pak Line Industries presents the Hartmann Alligator Forceps, an essential micro-grasping surgical instrument engineered for fine tissue manipulation, foreign body extraction, and intrauterine retrieval in deep, confined anatomical cavities. Featuring an angled bayonet-style shank and fine serrated alligator jaws, this instrument is designed to keep the operator’s hands and the handle rings completely out of the optical pathway, ensuring unobstructed visualization and illumination down narrow surgical speculums, endocervical canals, or endoscopic access corridors.

Manufactured in our ISO 13485:2016 certified production facility in Sialkot, this instrument is hot-drop forged from premium medical-grade AISI 420 Surgical Stainless Steel and vacuum heat-treated to HRC 50–54 to guarantee lasting mechanical stiffness, resistance to tip deflection, and superior spring responsiveness. Equipped with precision-milled atraumatic cross-serrations and a single-action articulating upper jaw, the forceps allow clinicians to grasp minute polyps, biopsy samples, or misplaced intrauterine device (IUD) retrieval strings with tactile accuracy. Fully reusable, rustproof, and 100% steam autoclavable, it meets the performance demands of outpatient clinics, operating theaters, and medical supply distributors worldwide.

Key Features & Surgical Performance Advantages

• Angled Bayonet Shank Architecture: Ergonomic offset angle drops the handle below the line of sight, preventing the clinician’s hand from obstructing headlights, microscopes, or direct procedural vision.

• Micro-Serrated Alligator Working Jaws: Precision-cut atraumatic serrations provide a high-traction, non-slip grip on small soft-tissue fragments, surgical swabs, and synthetic IUD threads without tearing or crush artifacts.

• Single-Action Tip Articulation: Only the upper beak articulates during jaw closure while the lower jaw remains stationary, preventing contact or friction against surrounding canal walls in tight confines.

• Ergonomic Finger-Ring Actuation: Non-locking ring-handled configuration delivers immediate, sensitive tactile feedback, allowing feather-light to firm mechanical clamping control.

• Forged AISI 420 Surgical Stainless Steel: High-carbon martensitic alloy provides torsional rigidity along the extended shaft, eliminating bending during deep tissue extraction.

• 100% Autoclavable & Reusable: Resists repeated hospital-grade steam autoclaving cycles (134°C / 273°F) and broad-spectrum enzymatic detergents without hinge stiffening or oxidation.

• OEM & Custom Specification Services: Available in standard shaft lengths (8.5 cm, 14.0 cm, and extended reach) with options for custom laser branding, regulatory marking, and custom B2B packaging.
