Clinical Application
This curved 1x2-tooth tissue forceps is intended for secure handling of skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia during procedures that require precise tissue control — for example wound closure, suture placement, tissue retraction in confined fields, and minor soft-tissue dissection. The single opposing tooth engaging two teeth provides a firm, localized grip that reduces slippage during suturing and manipulation while limiting the area of compression on surrounding tissue.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft and 12.5 cm working length allow approach at an angulation that improves line-of-sight and access in shallow-to-moderate depth surgical sites compared with straight forceps. The 1x2 tooth tip concentrates holding force on a small footprint to secure skin or tissue edges without broad crushing. The overall geometry supports precise fingertip control for placement and removal during suturing and for atraumatic transfer of tissue between instruments.
