Clinical Application
These tissue forceps are designed to provide a reliable, secure grip on skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia during general surgical procedures, wound closure, and soft-tissue handling. The 2x3 tooth configuration offers positive purchase for tissue manipulation where a firm hold is required—commonly used for skin edge approximation during suturing and controlled retraction of moderately dense tissue.
Design & Configuration
The staggered 2x3 tooth arrangement concentrates holding force on a small contact area to minimize slippage while limiting crush spread compared with larger-toothed patterns. The relatively compact 12.5 cm length provides tactile control and visibility for superficial and confined operative fields, making it suitable for minor procedures, ambulatory surgery, and operative closures where precise handling is required.
