Clinical Application
Designed for secure tissue handling during general surgical, minor procedure, and soft-tissue closure tasks, this 3x4 tooth tissue forceps provides controlled purchase on skin, fascia, and subcutaneous tissue. The asymmetric interlocking tooth pattern allows the surgeon to obtain a firm hold for precise suturing, tissue retraction, and manipulation while minimizing slippage when placing interrupted or running sutures.
Design & Configuration
The 3x4 tooth geometry produces an interdigitating grip: three teeth on one jaw engage four teeth on the opposing jaw to concentrate contact points and reduce rotational or translational slippage of tissue. At 20 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and tactile control—long enough for moderate-depth work while allowing fine digital control at the tips. The configuration is intended for direct manual use where a firm, localized grip is required without broad crushing of tissue.
