Thomas Allis Tissue Fcps 6x7T 20cm

Clinical Application

This self-retaining tissue forceps is intended to provide a secure, controlled grip on dense connective tissue, fascia, and organs during open procedures. The interlocking toothed jaws deliver a firm hold for tissue retraction, exposure, and temporary stabilization during dissection, excision, or suturing. Because the toothed design concentrates pressure, the instrument is useful where a strong, non-slip grip is required, but should be used with caution on delicate tissues to avoid unintended tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The interdigitating 6x7 tooth configuration produces multiple contact points that reduce slippage and maintain tissue purchase under traction. A 20 cm overall length provides reach for moderate-depth cavities while preserving tactile control at the handles. The self-retaining ratchet permits hands-free retention once engaged, improving exposure and allowing assistants to focus on retraction or suction. The compact jaw profile allows placement in confined operative fields with predictable alignment of the teeth for reproducible grip.
