Clinical Application
Provides secure, controlled grasping of soft tissues and fascial planes where a firm, non-slip hold is required. The one-by-two tooth arrangement gives positive purchase for tissue retraction, suture placement, and dissection assistance in general, plastic, and reconstructive procedures. Exercise caution when applying to delicate skin or friable vascular structures; the toothed tip is intended for tissues where a stronger grip is preferable to atraumatic smooth jaws.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth configuration combines a single projecting tooth on one jaw with two offset teeth on the opposing jaw to concentrate contact points and reduce slippage under tension. The overall 15 cm length balances reach and control in confined operative fields while allowing comfortable manual handling for precise manipulation. The two-jaw design facilitates direct, tactile feedback for the operator, improving control during suture placement and tissue approximation.
