Clinical Application
Designed for secure handling of skin, fascia and other moderately tough soft tissues, the 4x5 tooth tip provides precise point-to-point purchase to stabilize tissue during suturing, wound edge approximation and tissue retraction. The tooth configuration offers a controlled grip that minimizes slippage during knot tying and layered closure, making this pattern useful across general surgery, ENT, plastic and minor procedure settings where firm tissue control is required.
Design & Configuration
The opposing 4x5 tooth arrangement concentrates contact at discrete points to maximize grip with minimal lateral compression, enabling the surgeon to manipulate tissue without excessive crushing. At 16 cm overall length the instrument provides a balance of reach and control suitable for both superficial work and moderate-depth exposures. The tapered tips and fine tooth geometry allow accurate placement for suture handling and tissue alignment.
