Marten Forceps

Description

Marten Forceps

The Marten forceps grasps soft tissue with control in plastic surgery. Its 14 cm length suits face, neck and breast work.

A compact length

Fourteen centimetres keeps the tool light and precise. Besides, it fits easily through short incisions. Meanwhile, the hand stays close to the work for fine control.

Where Marten forceps are used

Plastic and reconstructive surgeons use it during flap positioning and closure. It also helps when trimming skin edges. Furthermore, many keep it near their fine scissors.

Holding tissue gently

Grasp only as much tissue as you need. Then lift or move it with a steady hand. Also, release and regrasp rather than pulling hard.

Pairing

It works well with skin hooks and fine scissors. Together they let the surgeon shape a flap precisely. Moreover, most plastic trays carry one pair.

Size check

At 14 cm, it suits most superficial work. For deeper fields, choose a longer forceps. Then the hand stays out of the view.

Choosing fine forceps

Look at the tip pattern, the length and the spring of the arms. For instance, a soft spring suits long closures because the hand tires less. In addition, a 14 cm body balances well against fine scissors.
