Clinical Application
Designed to provide a firm, locked grip on soft tissue, this Allis pattern is used to secure and retract tissue during open surgical procedures. The pronounced interlocking teeth offer reliable purchase on fascia, connective tissue, and small tissue segments for traction, exposure, specimen handling, or placement of traction sutures. Common clinical uses include general surgery, gynecology, urology, and soft-tissue procedures where controlled, locked traction is required.
Design & Configuration
The 5x6 tooth arrangement creates multiple points of engagement across the jaws to produce a secure, non-rotating hold on tissue. Ring handles with a ratchet lock allow the instrument to remain closed at a chosen tension, enabling hands-free retraction and controlled transfer of traction. The 24 cm length balances reach and tactile control for most open procedures while the rigid shaft preserves alignment under load.
