Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, positive grip on skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia, this 3×4 tooth tissue forceps is intended for tissue manipulation during closure, debridement and general soft-tissue handling. The interdigitating 3x4 tip gives controlled purchase on tissue edges and sutures, reducing slippage when placing sutures, holding tissue for haemostasis, or assisting with wound approximation in general, plastic and minor surgical procedures.
Design & Configuration
The interdigitating 3×4 tooth configuration pairs asymmetric teeth that mesh when closed to provide a firm, localized grip without excessive crushing of tissue. The thumb-forceps geometry enables precise fingertip control for delicate maneuvers and suture placement. At 16 cm overall length the instrument balances working reach for superficial and moderately deep fields while preserving fine tactile feedback and control at the tip.
