Potts Smith Tissue Fcps 1x2T 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise tissue handling, this Potts-Smith 1x2 tissue forceps provides a secure grasp on skin, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and delicate vascular or soft tissues during dissection, retraction, and closure. The 1x2 tooth tip offers controlled penetration and purchase with minimized slippage, making the instrument useful for general surgical cases as well as specialty procedures where accurate traction and tissue stabilization are required.

Design & Configuration

The 21 cm length delivers extended reach for deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback at the tip. The asymmetric 1x2 tooth configuration concentrates holding force in a small contact area to prevent tissue migration without excessive crush injury. A slender shaft and precise tip alignment support fine manipulation and suture placement. The conventional box-lock hinge provides consistent alignment and dependable jaw closure throughout repeated use.
