Clinical Application
These narrow 1x2 tooth tissue forceps are intended for secure handling of soft tissue during general surgical procedures where precise, controlled grasping is required. The 1x2 tooth tip provides a firm, asymmetric purchase on tissue, making the instrument useful for wound edge approximation, holding fascia during layered closure, suture placement, and tissue manipulation in confined anatomical spaces. Their narrow jaw profile supports procedures on small incisions or in areas with limited exposure where broader forceps would obstruct the field.
Design & Configuration
The narrow, fine-jawed geometry concentrates grip force at the tooth interface to reduce slippage while minimizing the surface area in contact with tissue—helpful when working in tight operative corridors. The 1x2 tooth arrangement (one tooth opposing two teeth) yields stable, non-rotating hold of tissue edges, aiding precise needle placement and controlled retraction. A 13 cm overall length balances reach and control for both superficial and slightly deeper work without sacrificing tactile feedback.
