Clinical Application
Designed for secure tissue handling in general surgical and procedural settings, this 14 cm tissue forceps provides reliable purchase for tasks such as handling skin and subcutaneous tissue, wound edge retraction, suture placement and needle control. The 4x5 tooth configuration gives a positive grip appropriate for procedures where firm control is required; it is intended for use on tissues where a penetrating tooth pattern is clinically acceptable and not for atraumatic manipulation of very delicate structures.
Design & Configuration
The 4x5 tooth arrangement features offset teeth on opposing jaws that interdigitate to create a secure, non-slip hold on tissue and sutures. The 14 cm overall length balances reach and fine control at the tips, making the instrument suitable for both open surgical fields and minor procedures. The thumb-forceps format enables direct tactile feedback for precise placement and manipulation.
