Mod. Tubingen Suture Forceps

Our Mod Tubingen suture forceps is a modified version of the Tubingen pattern. It measures 10 cm. Surgeons use forceps like this to handle fine suture and to hold wound edges during closure. So it belongs beside the needle holder.

A modified Tubingen pattern

The word modified means the form differs from the original Tubingen design. However, our listing does not spell out each change. For that reason, compare the product image with your current forceps before you order.

Role during closure

As the needle passes, this forceps holds the wound edge still. Then it can help pick up the suture end and guide it. In short, it serves as the steady hand in a two-handed closure.

• 10 cm length
• Modified Tubingen pattern
• Holds wound edges and suture
• Reusable after sterilization

Using it with fine suture

Fine suture slips if the grip is too weak and frays if it is too strong. Therefore, use a moderate, even pressure. Also, keep the tips clean of blood, so the suture stays visible.

A 10 cm working length

At 10 cm, it sits in a pen grip while the hand braces on the brow. Thus the forceps stays steady under the microscope. It also matches many needle holders in length.

Cleaning tips

Rinse the Tubingen soon after use, then brush its tips gently. Next, dry it fully and check the tips for alignment. Finally, store it with a guard to protect the fine points.

Tubingen ordering details

It reaches you non-sterile. Tubingen buyers also hold three years against manufacturing defects. Tubingen points rely on stainless steel meeting ASTM F899. For another closure option, see the Moorfield suture forceps. Our ophthalmic surgical catalogue and order FAQs cover the rest.
