Potts Smith Tissue Fcps 1x2T, 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure, atraumatic handling of delicate soft tissue and small vessels, this long Potts-Smith tissue forceps is used to obtain precise purchase during dissections, suture placement, vessel control and tissue retraction in procedures where gentle but reliable grip is required. The 1x2 tooth tip provides a firm localized hold with reduced crush injury compared with broader serrations, making it appropriate for vascular, thoracic and general surgical applications where fine tissue control is needed at depth.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 30 cm shaft provides extended reach into deep cavities while keeping the operator’s hands clear of the field. The 1x2 tooth configuration places a single tooth opposite a pair of teeth to concentrate holding force on a small area while distributing pressure to limit tissue trauma. The hand-held forceps profile allows tactile feedback for delicate maneuvers and precise control during suturing or vessel manipulation.
