Discover why more urology teams are choosing Omnimed's 610mm Rat Tooth Forceps for ureteral stent removal. When removing a ureteral stent, every clinician is aiming for the same outcome. A secure grip. A smooth retrieval. Success on the first attempt.
Anyone who regularly performs ureteral stent removal knows how frustrating it can be when the forceps lose their hold at the crucial moment. A slipping stent can mean repeated attempts, longer procedure times, unnecessary frustration and decrease in patient comfort. In a busy urology department, even small improvements in control can have a meaningful impact on procedural confidence and efficiency.
That's why more urology departments are choosing the Omnimed WF-R1661GI-SHD Rat Tooth Jaw Grasping Forceps. Combining a 610mm working length with Omnimed's exclusive Special Handle Design and precision-engineered rat tooth jaws, these forceps are becoming a trusted choice for confident ureteral stent retrieval.
Ureteral Stent Removal. First Time.
Forceps with a working length between 600mm and 850mm are suitable for ureteral stent removal, making the WF-R1661GI-SHD an ideal choice. It has a 610mm working length, 1.80mm minimum working channel diameter and compatibility with all major endoscope systems, including Olympus®, Pentax® and Fujifilm®. The forceps are available in both single use and reusable options.
The difference begins with the jaws. The precision-engineered rat tooth design provides a firm, secure grip on the stent, helping to minimise the risk of slipping during retrieval. If you've ever watched Clive's famous Pound Coin Demonstration, you'll already know just how remarkably secure that grip can be. Using these forceps, Clive Waters, Area Sales Consultant (South East & London) can lift a pound coin clean off the table. No wobble, no slipping. Be sure to ask one of the team for a demonstration next time we visit!
The innovation doesn't stop there. Exclusive to Omnimed, the Special Handle Design was ergonomically developed to provide greater comfort and control throughout the procedure. Engineered finger grooves support natural hand positioning, while the smooth sliding action gives clinicians exceptional control from the moment the forceps are introduced to the successful retrieval of the stent. The level of comfort and control the special handle design offers, enable greater precision and reduced user fatigue.
It's a difference that becomes even more noticeable during a busy list, which is exactly why Clive recommends to Try This Handle on a Busy Day.
