Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, focal grip on tissue, the 1x2 tooth jaw is optimized for handling skin edges, fascia and other soft tissues where precise control is required. Commonly used during wound closure, suturing, tissue retraction, and layered repair in general, plastic and minor open procedures, the tooth configuration helps prevent slippage while minimizing compressive crush to surrounding tissue when used appropriately.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth geometry provides asymmetric point contact—one tooth on one jaw engaging two opposed teeth on the other—which concentrates grip at the contact points for reliable purchase on tissue such as dermis and fascia. The 18 cm length balances working reach and tactile control for most open surgery applications, allowing the surgeon to maneuver in superficial and moderate-depth fields without sacrificing fingertip control.
