Clinical Application
This tissue forceps with a 4 × 5 tooth tip is designed to provide a secure purchase on skin, fascia and other moderate-to-dense soft tissues where firm control is required. The traumatic tooth pattern gives positive engagement for tasks such as tissue retraction, wound edge handling, suture placement, and debridement in general, trauma and many soft-tissue surgical procedures. Not recommended for delicate microvascular or neural tissue where atraumatic instruments are preferred.
Design & Configuration
The thumb-forceps configuration enables precise, fingertip control for direct tissue manipulation. The 4 × 5 tooth arrangement offers staggered interlocking contact points that reduce slippage under tension, improving grip on slippery or thicker tissues. At 18 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and control—long enough for deeper wounds yet short enough for accurate hand positioning at the surgical field.
