Jarit 440-186 7-3/4" Blakesley Suction Forceps (4.0mm / Size 1 / Up-Angled)

The Jarit 440-186 is a high-performance ENT instrument engineered for the complexities of modern rhinology and endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). This specialized Blakesley-pattern forceps features a Size 1 (4.0 mm) jaw and an integrated suction channel, allowing surgeons to debride tissue, remove polyps, or resect the uncinate process while maintaining a perfectly clear surgical field. The 45° up-angled shaft is specifically designed to navigate the superior aspects of the nasal vault and frontal recess, areas often inaccessible to straight instrumentation.

With a 3-7/8 inch (98 mm) working length, the 440-186 offers the reach required for deep ethmoidectomy while providing the mechanical leverage needed for precise tissue excision. Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is designed to maintain jaw alignment and suction patency through high-volume clinical use and repeated sterilization cycles.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Jarit (Integra LifeSciences)

• Model Number: 440-186

• Pattern: Blakesley Suction Forceps

• Jaw Size: 4.0 mm (Size 1)

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Simultaneous Suction & Grasping: Eliminates the need for a separate suction tip in the operative field, reducing "instrument crowding" during endoscopic procedures.

• Superior Field Visualization: The up-angled orientation allows the surgeon to work "around the corner" in the frontal sinus or maxillary antrum while keeping the handles below the endoscope's line of sight.

• Atraumatic Tissue Handling: The precision-milled 4.0 mm jaws provide a secure grip on mucosal tissue and polyps without the crushing force associated with lower-quality instruments.

• Efficient Debris Clearance: The internal suction lumen is sized to handle blood, mucus, and small bone chips, ensuring uninterrupted surgical momentum.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The suction channel has been checked for patency and is free of obstructions. The jaws meet with 1:1 precision, and the hinge action is smooth and non-binding.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including surface scuffs, minor scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the mechanical integrity or the suction performance of the tool.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned (ensuring the internal lumen is flushed) and autoclaved per your facility's validated ENT/Sinus protocols prior to use.
