Clinical Application
Toothed tissue forceps with a 2×3 tooth configuration provide a positive purchase on skin, fascia and other relatively robust soft tissues. They are commonly used during wound edge retraction, tissue approximation for suturing, debridement and handling of tissues where a secure grip is required. Because the toothed tips concentrate holding force, these forceps are suited to procedures in general surgery, minor procedures and operative steps that require tissue control without continuous manual retraction.
Design & Configuration
The tweezer-style geometry gives precise fingertip control for delicate placement and suturing tasks. The 2×3 tooth arrangement concentrates contact points to reduce slippage on fibrous tissues and skin, improving control during knot tying and wound closure. Users should avoid using toothed forceps on friable or delicate structures (e.g., bowel serosa, ocular tissue) where atraumatic graspers are preferred.
