Clinical Application
Designed for secure tissue handling in general surgical procedures, this 4x5-tooth forceps is used to grasp skin edges, fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and suture material. The asymmetric 4x5 tooth pattern provides a focused purchase that helps prevent slippage during retraction, manipulation, and wound closure while minimizing lateral crushing of delicate tissues.
Design & Configuration
The 20 cm length gives surgeons extended reach into deeper wounds or body cavities while maintaining precise control at the tip. The 4x5 tooth configuration offers a balance between firm grip and atraumatic handling: the slightly staggered tooth arrangement secures tissue without requiring excessive compressive force. The straight shaft profile (as commonly applied to this pattern) supports accurate alignment of the jaws for predictable handling during suturing and layered closure.
