Waugh Tissue Fcps criss cross serr 1x2T 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic yet secure handling of soft tissues, this Waugh-pattern tissue forceps is used to grasp skin, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and delicate soft tissue during dissection, suturing and wound closure. The 1x2 tooth configuration provides a focused purchase point that facilitates tissue approximation and control without excessive crushing—useful during general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive procedures and routine operative tasks where controlled traction is required.

Design & Configuration

The forceps combine a 1x2 tooth tip with criss-cross serrations across the jaws. The single-tooth to double-tooth arrangement delivers a positive bite on tissue while minimizing slippage; the criss-cross serrations enhance longitudinal grip along the tissue axis to resist rotation during manipulation. The 18 cm overall length gives reach for both superficial and moderately deep operative fields while retaining tactile feedback for fine tissue handling.
