Tuffier Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

Description

Tuffier Tissue & Organ Holding Forceps

The Tuffier tissue forceps hold tissue edges firmly with interlocking 4:5 teeth. At 13 cm, they suit superficial work in general and plastic surgery.

Teeth

Four teeth meet five on the opposite jaw. Consequently, the bite holds firm tissue such as skin edges and fascia.

Size of the Tuffier tissue forceps

Thirteen centimetres keeps the instrument light and precise. In addition, the ratchet holds the grip steady.

Typical uses

Surgeons use them on skin edges, fascia and tissue to be excised. They also help in breast and hernia work.

Technique

Catch the edge, close one click and pull steadily as you dissect.

Tuffier or Chaput

The Chaput has 2:3 teeth for a narrower bite. By contrast, the Tuffier spreads the grip a little more.

Minor surgery

Lumps and bumps lists use many short forceps. Additionally, the Tuffier fits those trays well.

Tuffier tissue forceps on fascia

Fascia is tough and slippery once wet. The interlocking 4:5 teeth bite into it securely, so the edge can be lifted while the surgeon places sutures during closure.

Spare pairs

Since short tissue forceps go through many cases a day, a spare set prevents delays when one tray is in reprocessing.
