Clinical Application
Designed for firm, controlled tissue handling, this 2x3-tooth tissue forceps provides positive purchase on skin, fascia and other soft tissues during exposure, suturing and wound closure. Its 2x3 tooth configuration is commonly used in general surgical, plastic, and orthopedic procedures where a secure grip is required without the bulk of larger toothed forceps. Typical uses include atraumatic approximation of tissue edges for suturing, retraction of soft tissue during dissection, and handling of tissue during hemostasis or closure.
Design & Configuration
The asymmetric 2x3 tooth arrangement delivers a reliable, interlocking grip that minimizes slippage under tension while distributing contact to reduce localized crushing. At 18 cm overall length it offers a balance between reach and manual control—suitable for superficial and mid-depth operative fields. The hand-held forceps configuration facilitates precise fingertip control for tissue approximation and manipulation during suturing and layered closure.
