Clinical Application
Provides secure, positive purchase on soft tissue during general surgical procedures where controlled traction and tissue manipulation are required. The 3x4-tooth tip is designed to interlock and resist slippage, making this pattern useful for skin, fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and other soft-tissue handling tasks during dissection, suturing, wound approximation and routine operative exposure. Because the toothed tip concentrates grip force, it is intended for tissues that will tolerate focal engagement rather than extremely friable or delicate structures.
Design & Configuration
The hand-held geometry with an 18 cm overall length balances reach and tactile feedback: long enough for deeper fields while preserving manual control. The asymmetric 3x4 tooth arrangement provides interdigitating engagement that reduces rotational slippage and improves control when positioning tissue for suturing or tying. The slender jaw profile allows precise point-of-contact placement while the tooth pattern secures tissue without requiring excessive operator force.
