Clinical Application
Designed for secure tissue handling during open surgical procedures, this 2x3-tooth thumb forceps provides a firm, point-contact grip on skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. It is commonly used for tissue retraction, edge approximation during suturing, wound debridement and controlled manipulation of dense soft tissue where a traumatic grip is appropriate.
Design & Configuration
The 2x3 tooth tip places two opposing teeth against three teeth on the mating jaw to concentrate purchase and minimize slippage when holding heavier tissue. The thumb-forceps configuration gives the operator direct tactile feedback and fine control during dissection and suturing. At 15 cm overall length the instrument offers a balance of reach and fingertip control suitable for a wide range of general surgical tasks.
