Sklar Gillies Forceps, 1x2 Teeth Serrated
A 6 inch Sklar Gillies forceps with serrated jaws and 1x2 teeth, used by plastic surgeons for tissue handling during reconstructive procedures.
The Sklar Gillies Forceps is a 6 inch tissue forceps combining a serrated jaw surface with 1x2 teeth at the tip, a pattern strongly associated with plastic and reconstructive surgery. The toothed tip gives a secure hold on skin and soft tissue with minimal slippage, while the shorter overall length and lighter build suit the fine, controlled tissue handling that plastic surgery procedures typically require compared with heavier general surgery work.
Surgeons use forceps of this kind to hold skin edges steady during incision, undermining and suturing, particularly in facial, hand and other reconstructive procedures where precise tissue apposition affects the cosmetic outcome. This is a single length listing as offered by Sklar for the Gillies pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended to be reused across procedures following standard sterilization protocols.
It is typically included in plastic surgery instrument sets alongside other fine tissue forceps and scissors.
