The Arshava Forcep Wings are a forceps-based support attachment for use during operations. As a support device, the Arshava Forcep Wings are intended to increase stability of manipulations and ease of forceps use and decrease hand fatigue and discomfort such as cramps and pain. Arshava Forcep Wings may be beneficial during long operations and the use of long forceps. This device has been shown to increase steadiness of manipulations and augment hand relaxation during use of forceps in a study involving surgeons and surgical trainees.
The device consists of “Thumb” and “Fingers” units that are adjustably positioned on the forceps shafts based on surgeons’ preference. The units have attachment slots through which they are slid onto the forceps. The “Thumb” unit is naturally positioned closer to the forceps hinge while the “Fingers” unit is placed closer towards the tips. We suggest that the units to not overlap. Final location of the units on the forceps largely depends on the individual preferences of the user.
Designed as an ergonomic attachment for commonly used forceps such as DeBakey, Resano, or similar instruments. Arshava Forcep Wings work with forceps with a minimum handle width of 11.8 mm and minimum thickness of 2.8 mm. It is recommended that users test Arshava Forcep Wings on the forceps of their preference to confirm acceptable fit and function prior to use.
