Rochester-Kocher Forceps 1x2 Teeth, Straight, 14 cm — Ref. 1517-36 — 14 cm, straight 1x2 interlocking teeth at jaw tip, three-position ratchet, stainless steel

Accuram 1517-36 Rochester-Kocher Forceps is a 14 cm straight haemostatic forceps with 1x2 interlocking teeth. The toothed jaw tip is what defines the Rochester-Kocher pattern and separates it from the otherwise dimensionally similar Rochester-Pean. The jaws carry fine transverse serrations along their full working length, terminating in a single tooth on one jaw meshing between two on the other. The teeth give positive purchase on dense or slippery tissue that plain serrations alone would let slip, while the serrations behind them spread clamping pressure along the jaw rather than concentrating it at the tip. The one-piece instrument uses box-joint construction with a three-position ratchet at the shank, holding the jaws at a set clamping force without continuous hand pressure. Ring handles are finished with rounded, polished eyes for comfort during extended use. The brushed satin finish carries the Accuram Instruments name. Ordering note. The Rochester-Kocher is supplied in four lengths in both jaw profiles: straight as 1517-36 (14 cm), 1517-38 (16 cm), 1517-40 (18.5 cm) and 1517-42 (20 cm); curved as 1517-37, 1517-39, 1517-41 and 1517-43 at the same lengths. All carry 1x2 teeth. The Rochester-Pean pattern is offered at the same four lengths and in both profiles without teeth — confirm the pattern name as well as the reference when ordering, as the two are dimensionally similar and differ only at the jaw tip. Accuram manufactures to German manufacturing techniques, with technical AutoCAD drawings and Go/No-Go gauges produced on CNC machines used throughout the production cycle to hold tolerances to DIN norms. Instruments pass a boil test and a special surface treatment process that maximises the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Each lot ships with a Q.C certificate carrying a unique traceability ID. Accuram Instruments operates under ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certification.
