Clinical Application
Designed for controlled tissue handling during general surgical procedures, this 1x2-tooth tissue forceps provides a secure bite for skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. The tooth configuration is intended to reliably hold tissue during wound edge approximation, suture placement and blunt dissection without excessive crushing of the tissue. Common uses include skin and wound closure, soft-tissue retraction, graft positioning and general case work in ambulatory surgery centers and operating rooms.
Design & Configuration
The one-by-two tooth arrangement gives a positive grip by concentrating contact at discrete points, reducing slippage while avoiding the broader compressive trauma of serrated jaws. The non-locking, thumb-forceps form factor allows fine manual control and rapid release, which is useful during delicate suturing and tissue manipulation. At 17.5 cm overall length the instrument balances reach for deeper operative fields with tactile control for precise tip placement.
