Tissue Fcps 4x5T 14.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure handling of skin and superficial soft tissue during common operative steps such as wound closure, suturing, debridement, and tissue retraction. The toothed jaw pattern provides an interlocking grip that helps prevent tissue slippage when placing sutures or holding tissue edges, making it useful in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, dermatologic surgery, and minor procedures in ambulatory settings.

Design & Configuration

The thumb-forceps configuration offers direct tactile feedback and precise fingertip control, important for delicate positioning and suture placement. The 4x5 tooth arrangement creates asymmetric interdigitation—one side with four teeth mating with five on the opposing jaw—which concentrates holding force at discrete contact points to reduce slip without excessive crushing across the entire jaw. At 14.5 cm overall length, the instrument provides a balance of reach and control appropriate for tabletop and field-level handling in open procedures.
