Sklar Martin-Nelson Tissue Forceps, 6x7 Teeth
A toothed tissue forceps with a 6x7 tooth pattern used to grip and control firm tissue during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Martin-Nelson Tissue Forceps, related to the Nelson pattern, is a grasping forceps with a 6x7 tooth arrangement designed to take hold of firmer tissue that a fine dissecting forceps would not grip reliably. The interlocking multi tooth pattern spreads the holding force across a wider area of tissue, reducing the point pressure at any single spot while still giving the surgeon enough traction to manipulate or retract the tissue during the procedure.
This makes it useful in general and abdominal surgery for handling fascia, bowel wall or other resilient structures that need to be held steady while another step of the operation, such as dissection or suturing, is carried out. Surgeons keep this pattern on general surgical trays for use whenever a stronger grip than a standard tissue forceps offers is required.
This row measures 6 inches, and the listing covers a range of lengths from 6 to 9 inches, all sharing the same 6x7 tooth pattern. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel for repeated sterilisation and use.
