Clinical Application
Precision tissue forceps with a 1x2 tooth tip provide controlled, positive purchase on skin and firm soft tissue. They are commonly used for needle handling and tissue approximation during suturing, wound edge eversion for layered closure, and atraumatic retraction of small tissue flaps in general, plastic, ENT and minor-procedure settings. The 1x2 tooth configuration permits secure hold with minimal crushing of fragile tissue when used appropriately.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth arrangement delivers a firm, anti-slip grip by pairing a single opposing tooth with a complementary double-tooth surface. This geometry reduces tissue slippage during needle passage and suture tying while concentrating contact to minimize unnecessary surface trauma. At 15.5 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and tactile control for both superficial and slightly deeper suturing tasks in confined operative fields.
