Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling of soft tissues, these forceps are used to grasp skin edges, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and other delicate structures during dissection, retraction and wound closure. The 1x2 tooth tip provides a secure hold for tissue manipulation and suture placement without the broad crushing effect of toothed forceps with multiple teeth. They are commonly employed in general surgery, minor procedures, and closure steps where precise control of tissue is required.
Design & Configuration
The English pattern Treves configuration combines a slender shaft for access and a 1x2 tooth jaw for controlled tissue engagement. The single-tooth opposite a paired-tooth arrangement reduces slippage while concentrating grip points to minimize tissue compression. The 20 cm overall length provides reach into moderate-depth wounds and working fields while maintaining tactile feedback and fine control for suturing and delicate manipulation.
