Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps

The Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps is a placenta/abortus forceps designed for grasping and holding tissue. Instruments of this type are applied in surgical procedures, where controlled, repeatable engagement of tissue or vessels is required, and where the surgeon needs a dependable instrument geometry that behaves predictably from one procedure to the next. This product follows the Winter pattern. A named instrument pattern of this kind defines the jaw geometry, working profile, and overall handling of the instrument, which means every unit built to the Winter pattern shares the same functional characteristics and can be specified, reordered, and tracked consistently across procurement and inventory systems. It is represented as a single product family that consolidates 7 related configurations under one catalog entry. Consolidating the configurations in this way lets procurement teams evaluate the full range of available sizes and options side by side, and select the required variation without having to search through separate, fragmented records.

Design characteristics. Based strictly on the catalogued specifications, the working portion is offered in straight and curved form, allowing the approach angle to be matched to the operative field and the instrument is offered without ratchet and with ratchet, governing whether the jaws lock closed or are held manually. Each of these characteristics is taken directly from the source catalog; no jaw, tip, material, or dimensional attribute has been inferred or added. Where the catalog does not state an attribute, it is intentionally omitted rather than estimated.

Configuration options. This is a variable product offered in 7 distinct, individually catalogued variations. Catalogued sizes include 290 mm, 2″, 285 mm, and 4″. Curvature choices span straight and curved. The individually catalogued variations are: Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Straight, 290 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Straight, 290 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Curved, 290 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Curved, 290 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Curved, 290 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Curved, 285 mm; Winter Placenta/Abortus Forceps, Curved, 290 mm. Every variation carries its own catalog (article) number and exact dimensional data, and the variation list should be consulted for the precise specification of each option before an order is placed, so that the correct size and configuration are selected.

Applications. As a placenta/abortus forceps, this instrument is used for grasping and holding tissue; its defined field of use is surgical procedures. In practice the working tip is brought into contact with the target tissue or vessel, and the catalogued straight and curved profile determines how it is applied. The applications stated here reflect the defined function of this instrument type and are not extended with procedure-specific or outcome claims; intended clinical use should always be confirmed against institutional protocols.

Identification and procurement. The instrument is identified by the Winter pattern in combination with its catalog article numbers, which keeps reordering and stock reconciliation unambiguous. It sits within the Clamps and Forceps category of the Surgical Instruments range. For procurement teams, the family record groups every available configuration in one place, which supports accurate purchase orders, tender responses, and inventory coding.

Ordering information. This product is available in multiple configurations; refer to the individual variations for exact specifications, article numbers, and dimensions. It is offered as a B2B catalog item intended for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors, and dealers.
