Sklar Alligator Grasping Forceps, Multi Teeth
An alligator grasping forceps with multi teeth jaws, used to firmly grasp tissue or foreign material during endoscopic procedures. It is reused across procedures after cleaning and sterilisation.
The Sklar Alligator Grasping Forceps with multi teeth jaws is a minimally invasive instrument used to secure a firm hold on tissue or foreign material during endoscopic and similar procedures. The multi teeth jaw pattern increases the number of contact points along the bite, which is intended to improve grip security on material that might otherwise slip from a smoother jaw surface, such as fibrous tissue or irregularly shaped debris.
This particular tooth configuration was separated from a broader family of similarly named alligator grasping forceps that share a parent name but differ meaningfully in diameter, length, handle type or jaw pattern, since those differences change how the instrument behaves in use even though the base name is the same.
Endoscopy suites performing foreign body retrieval or biopsy-adjacent grasping tasks typically keep a jaw pattern like this available alongside smoother or finer toothed variants, choosing between them based on the texture and grip requirements of the target material.
