Clinical Application
These tissue forceps with a 4x5 tooth configuration are intended for atraumatic but secure grasping of soft tissue during general surgical procedures. The interlocking tooth pattern provides reliable purchase on skin, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and other soft tissues for tasks such as wound edge approximation, tissue retraction during suturing, and controlled manipulation during dissection or repair.
Design & Configuration
The 4x5 tooth arrangement (four teeth on one jaw opposing five on the other) delivers a balanced, interlocking grip that reduces slippage while limiting crush injury compared with broader serrated patterns. As a handheld thumb tissue forceps, the instrument allows precise, single-handed control for fine tissue handling. The 20 cm length offers a practical working reach for a range of open procedures where visibility and moderate depth are required.
