Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, point-contact grip on tissue, the 1x2 tooth configuration is used where a firm hold is required—for example during wound closure, suture placement, tissue retraction, and controlled manipulation of skin, fascia, or other soft tissues. The asymmetric 1x2 teeth deliver reliable purchase on slippery or fibrous tissue while allowing precise repositioning and needle control during suturing.
Design & Configuration
The 1x2 tooth geometry concentrates contact force at the teeth, producing a positive, non-slip grip with minimal surface area—useful for tasks that require secure handling rather than atraumatic spread. The thumb-forceps format gives direct manual control and tactile feedback to the operator, and the 14.5 cm length balances reach and fine control for superficial to moderately deep operative fields often encountered in general surgery, minor procedures, and soft-tissue closures.
Instrument Specifications
- Model: USA model 1x2T
- Length: 14.5 cm
- Jaw pattern: 1x2 tooth tip
- Handle style: thumb forceps (non-locking)
- Intended use: tissue grasping for dissection, suturing, wound edge control, and specimen handling
