Clinical Application
Designed for secure tissue handling in open surgical procedures, these thumb-style tissue forceps provide reliable purchase on skin edges, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and other denser soft tissues. The 2x3 tooth configuration gives a firm grip during wound retraction, suturing, debridement and general tissue manipulation. Not intended for atraumatic handling of extremely delicate structures (for example bowel serosa or nerves) where finer-toothed or non-toothed forceps are preferred.
Design & Configuration
The 2x3 tooth tip geometry offers a balance between secure purchase and controlled tissue engagement: two opposing teeth on one jaw and three on the other deliver localized bite points to prevent slippage during suturing and retraction. As a thumb (hand-held) forceps, the instrument enables fingertip control and tactile feedback for precise handling. The 20 cm length provides extended reach for deeper wounds or layered dissections while maintaining ergonomic control at the tips.
