Maintain Tool Closure During Retrieval
The locking mechanism fixes the tool in a closed position, helping maintain its grip on debris while freeing a hand for other tasks. The handle works with compatible iGrab™ Manual Retrieval Tools, subject to the length restriction above.
Explore the role of these tools in FOSAR and FOD removal operations.
Visually Guided Retrieval
Use the handle with compatible retrieval tools and iShot® Imaging VX FOSAR Working Channel Videoscopes for real-time visual guidance during removal. This combination supports tool positioning and debris handling in tight or difficult-to-access areas.
Detachable Handle Design
Detaching the handle allows a retrieval tool to be backed through a guide tube when its jaws are larger than the tube’s inner diameter. The locking mechanism helps retain captured debris during the operation.
