Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure tissue purchase for manipulation, traction, and temporary fixation during open surgical procedures. The toothed jaw pattern is intended for firm hold of fascia, adipose, and other dense soft tissues where a stable grip is required—common in general surgery, gynecology, and obstetrics. Because the jaws are toothed, use with caution on friable or delicate structures to avoid unintended tissue trauma.
Design & Configuration
The locking ring-handle design permits sustained, hands-free retention of tissue via a ratchet mechanism, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain traction without continuous grip effort. The 3x4 tooth configuration provides an asymmetric bite that concentrates holding force for a reliable purchase with reduced slipping compared with smooth-jawed forceps. At 15 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and control for procedures performed in moderate-depth operative fields.
