Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic but secure handling of delicate tissues, these forceps are commonly used to grasp skin edges, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and bowel during suturing, wound closure, and soft-tissue dissection. The 12.5 cm length provides close fingertip control for procedures in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, minor surgical suites, and outpatient clinics where precise manipulation of small tissue planes is required.
Design & Configuration
The Treves English-pattern geometry combines a slender shaft with fine tapered jaws to maximize visibility and precision in confined operative fields. The 1x2 tooth configuration (one tooth on one jaw engaging two teeth on the opposing jaw) produces a secure, non-slip grip that helps maintain tissue orientation without excessive compression. The short overall length supports tactile feedback and controlled traction during suturing and tissue approximation.
