Clinical Application
The one-by-two tooth configuration provides secure, focal purchase on skin and soft tissue while minimizing longitudinal slipping. This geometry is commonly used during wound closure, suture placement, tissue approximation and manipulation of dermal or fascial edges where controlled traction and precise alignment are required. It is suitable for general surgical procedures, minor cases, and any operative step that requires atraumatic yet dependable tissue handling.
Design & Configuration
The asymmetric 1x2 tooth tip engages tissue with a small contact footprint that concentrates grip without crushing surrounding tissue, improving control when placing sutures or aligning wound edges. A 15 cm overall length balances reach and tactile feedback, allowing use in both superficial and modestly deep operative sites while preserving manual dexterity. The hand-held forceps form enables fine motor control for delicate tasks.
