Sklar Nelson Forceps, Straight, 7x8 Teeth
A straight 7 inch tissue forceps from Sklar with a 7x8 tooth pattern, used by surgeons to grasp and hold firm tissue securely during open procedures.
The Sklar Nelson Forceps are a straight tissue grasping forceps with a 7x8 tooth pattern designed to hold firmer or heavier tissue securely during surgery. The multiple interlocking teeth spread the grip across a wider area than a smooth or single toothed jaw, which helps prevent tissue from slipping free while a surgeon manipulates or retracts it during dissection or closure.
At 7 inches in length, this instrument suits general open surgical fields where a straightforward, robust grasping tool is needed rather than a delicate or specialised one. Forceps of this pattern are a common addition to general surgery sets and are used across a range of procedures wherever tissue needs to be held steady, whether for traction, positioning or while another instrument is used nearby.
Hospitals and surgical centres typically keep several of this type in rotation given how frequently a basic grasping forceps is called for during any operating list.
