Clinical Application
Precision tissue handling forceps designed for secure grasping of skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia during wound closure, suturing, dressing changes and a wide range of general and minor surgical procedures. The 1x2 tooth tip provides a firm, point-to-point hold that improves control when placing sutures or manipulating tissue without the broader compression produced by plain or serrated jaws. Not recommended for friable visceral tissue or microvascular work where minimal penetration is required.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2T tip configuration features a single tooth on one jaw opposing two teeth on the mating jaw, producing concentrated contact points that reduce slippage on skin and fascia while limiting overall tissue crush. The 13 cm working length offers a balance of reach and tactile control for superficial to mid-depth procedures, making the instrument suitable for tray sets used in ambulatory surgery, dermatologic procedures and general operative suites. The standard straight-line profile and narrow tip geometry facilitate precise placement of sutures and controlled tissue manipulation.
