Clinical Application
Potts-Smith tissue forceps with a 1x2 tooth tip provide a firm, controlled grip for handling skin, fascia and other soft tissues during dissection, exposure and suturing. The 1x2 tooth configuration secures tissue and suture material without excessive surface contact, making these forceps useful for precise tissue apposition, needle handling and controlled traction during general surgical procedures.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 interdigitating tooth arrangement gives a positive purchase on tissue while minimizing lateral slippage during manipulation. At 18 cm overall length, the slender profile balances fingertip control with reach into deeper incisions or cavities. As a thumb-operated tissue forceps, the instrument permits delicate, tactile handling for tasks that require fine adjustment rather than broad retraction.
