Clinical Application
Precision 3x4-tooth tissue forceps provide controlled, atraumatic purchase of skin and relatively robust soft tissues during closure, suturing and tissue handling. Their interdigitating tooth pattern offers a secure grip for delivering suture bites, approximating wound edges, retracting soft tissue during debridement or partial-thickness work, and manipulating fascia or subcutaneous tissue in general surgery, plastic/reconstructive procedures, dermatologic excisions and minor procedures performed in ambulatory surgery centers.
Design & Configuration
The interlocking 3x4 tooth configuration places three teeth on one jaw and four on the opposing jaw to create a stable, asymmetric bite that resists slipping without excessive compression of tissue. The 13 cm overall length balances fingertip control with sufficient reach for shallow to moderate depth procedures. As a non-locking, hand-held instrument, it permits rapid, tactile feedback and fine adjustments during suture placement and tissue approximation.
