Clinical Application
The 4x5 tooth tip provides an interlocking grip that is suitable for reliably holding skin, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and other moderately dense soft tissues during exposure, dissection, suturing and wound closure. The tooth configuration is designed to minimize slippage when manipulating tissue, making this pattern useful in general surgery, dermatologic procedures, and soft-tissue cases where a firm, controlled hold is required.
Design & Configuration
The interdigitating 4x5 tooth arrangement concentrates contact points to secure tissue with reduced lateral slippage compared with plain or serrated tips. This geometry allows the surgeon to maintain control while applying minimal fingertip pressure. The 15 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile feedback for both superficial procedures and working within shallow cavities, helping to facilitate precise placement of sutures and safe tissue handling.
