The 6-inch U.S.A. model toothed forceps are a multipurpose surgical instrument used for grasping and manipulating a variety of tissues and materials. They are valued for providing a secure, non-slip grip, particularly on slippery or dense tissues.

General surgical applications

Tissue handling:

The toothed tips are designed to hold and control tissues like fascia, skin, and fibrous sheaths during surgical procedures.

Wound management:

They are used for handling tissues during wound closure (suturing) and while performing dressing changes.

General surgery:

The forceps are a fundamental tool in general surgery for dissections and manipulating tissues in both abdominal and soft tissue procedures.
