Identify Instrument Type: Disposable bendable surgical forceps typically refer to flexible manipulators used in laparoscopy or endoscopy for gripping, ligating, or retracting tissues, commonly seen in minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Check Packaging and Sterility: Ensure the instrument is for single use, properly sealed, within its expiration date, and accompanied by instructions for use.
Connect to Operating Handle or Endoscope Channel: If it is an endoscopic accessory, insert the connector into the endoscope's working channel, ensuring the forceps head extends smoothly. If it is a laparoscopic-specific bendable forceps, insert it into the abdominal cavity via a trocar and correctly align it with the pneumoperitoneum system and operating handle.
Test Functional Flexibility: After installation, test the forceps' bending function and the smoothness of the forceps head opening and closing in non-critical areas, confirming there is no jamming or excessive resistance.
Fix Position: Adjust the insertion depth as needed during the procedure and use a fixation device to prevent slippage.
