Malis Bayonet Cup Forceps, Medium Cup, 8.5″, Titanium

Malis Bayonet Cup Forceps, Medium Cup, 8.5″, Titanium are specialized microsurgical instruments used during procedures requiring precise handling of delicate tissues within deep and narrow operative fields.

Designed for controlled tissue grasping, specimen retrieval, and atraumatic manipulation, these forceps enable surgeons to securely handle soft tissues, membranes, and small tissue fragments while minimizing trauma to surrounding anatomical structures.

The defining feature of these instruments is the bayonet handle configuration, which offsets the surgeon’s hand away from the operative axis. This design enhances visualization under operating microscopes, endoscopes, and surgical loupes by reducing visual obstruction and improving access to deep surgical corridors.

The instrument features medium cup jaws engineered to provide secure tissue capture and controlled handling. The cup-shaped working ends facilitate atraumatic grasping and retrieval of delicate tissues and small specimens while maintaining excellent tactile feedback.

With an overall length of 8.5 inches (21.6 cm), the forceps provide extended reach for deep operative fields while maintaining precise control and maneuverability.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium, the Malis Bayonet Cup Forceps are significantly lighter than conventional stainless steel instruments, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged microsurgical procedures. Titanium construction also offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and compatibility with advanced imaging environments.

The ergonomic bayonet handle design ensures balanced handling and precise instrument control during microscope-assisted procedures. The satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and microscope illumination while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance.

Widely used in hospitals, neurosurgical centers, and specialty clinics, these forceps are essential components of neurosurgical, skull base, spinal, and microsurgical instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining jaw alignment, cup geometry, and consistent performance.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Neurosurgery
• Skull Base Surgery
• Spine Surgery
• Microsurgical Procedures
• Tumor Resection Procedures
• Tissue Grasping
• Specimen Retrieval
• Membrane Manipulation
• Surgical Field Exposure
• Deep Operative Field Access
