Clinical Application
3x4 tooth tissue forceps provide a reliable, interdigitating grip for handling soft tissue during a wide range of procedures. The asymmetric 3x4 tooth pattern offers positive purchase on fascia, dermis and other soft tissues for atraumatic manipulation when precise control is required—commonly used during tissue dissection, suture placement, wound approximation and closure. The 15 cm length balances reach with tactile control for use at the field edge or in deeper but accessible planes.
Design & Configuration
The thumb-forceps configuration is a single-handed, non-locking design that gives the operator direct tactile feedback while holding tissue. The 3x4 tooth arrangement interlocks to secure tissue with minimal slipping while reducing the need for excessive compressive force. A 15 cm overall length provides practical working reach for general surgical tasks while preserving fine manual control for delicate suture work.
