Sklar Jeans Dissecting Forceps, Serrated 1x2 Teeth
A serrated dissecting forceps with 1x2 teeth, available in 5-1/2 and 7 inch lengths, used to grasp and hold tissue during dissection and general surgery.
The Sklar Jeans Dissecting Forceps is a general purpose tissue forceps with serrated jaws finished in a 1x2 tooth pattern, meaning one jaw carries a single tooth that interlocks with two teeth on the opposite jaw for a secure, precise grip on tissue during dissection. This listing spans 5-1/2 inch and 7 inch lengths, letting the surgical team choose the reach appropriate to the depth of the surgical field, with the shorter length suited to superficial work and the longer version useful for deeper dissection.
The toothed pattern is intended to hold tissue firmly enough to counter-traction during cutting or suturing while limiting slippage, a common requirement across general, orthopedic and reconstructive surgery. Surgeons and assistants use this style of forceps as a routine part of the instrument tray whenever tissue needs to be steadied or lifted during dissection.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard reprocessing protocols, with the teeth checked to confirm they still interlock cleanly before use.
