Clinical Application
Toothed tissue forceps with a 2x3 tooth tip provide a reliable, positive purchase on skin, dermis, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. Their 2x3 tooth configuration is commonly used during tissue handling for wound approximation, suture placement, blunt and sharp dissection assistance, and for stabilizing tissue while applying clips or electrocautery. The 14 cm overall length balances fingertip control with reach, making the instrument suitable for general surgery, minor procedures, and procedures in confined fields where secure tissue control is required.
Design & Configuration
The interdigitating 2x3 tooth arrangement creates an asymmetric but secure grip: two teeth on one jaw nest with three on the opposing jaw to resist longitudinal slippage while minimizing the number of contact points. This geometry offers predictable purchase for needle handling and tissue approximation without the bulk of larger-toothed patterns, and the 14 cm length gives tactile feedback and fine control for delicate maneuvers in shallow to moderate-depth operative sites.
