Tissue Fcps 3x4T 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure, controlled grasping of skin, fascia and other soft tissues during suturing, wound approximation and routine soft-tissue handling. The 3x4 tooth jaw pattern provides a stable, asymmetric grip that resists tissue slippage, making these forceps well suited for wound edge handling, placement and tying of sutures, and general-purpose use in general surgery, plastics, ENT and ambulatory procedures. Not intended for handling extremely delicate structures where atraumatic forceps are required.

Design & Configuration

As a single-handed thumb forceps, the instrument uses tapered jaws with an interlocking 3x4 tooth arrangement to maximize purchase on tissue with precise tip alignment. The 18 cm overall length offers reach into deeper wounds while maintaining tactile feedback and control at the tip—important during suture placement and fine tissue manipulation. The non-locking configuration allows quick release and repositioning without manipulating a ratchet or other locking mechanism.
