Clinical Application
These toothed tissue forceps are designed to provide secure purchase on skin and denser soft tissues during wound closure, tissue retraction and suture placement. The asymmetric 4x5 tooth pattern offers firm engagement that reduces slippage when manipulating dermis, subcutaneous tissue and fascia; because the tips are toothed, they are intended for use on tissues where controlled grip is required rather than on delicate structures such as bowel or vascular endothelium.
Design & Configuration
The 4x5 tooth configuration combines opposing rows of teeth that interlock to give a reliable, non-slip hold with minimal need for repeated repositioning. At 11 cm overall length the instrument provides close, tactile control suited to superficial and confined operative fields—facilitating precise suture placement and tensioning during closure. The non-locking, hand-held design preserves direct tactile feedback, allowing the operator to modulate grip pressure and reduce crush injury compared with clamps.
