Sklar TC Adson Tissue Forceps, Tying Platform
A tungsten carbide tissue forceps with a serrated tying platform and 1x2 teeth, used to grasp tissue and manage suture during surgical closure.
The Sklar TC Adson Tissue Forceps combines the standard Adson tooth pattern of 1x2 teeth with tungsten carbide jaw inserts and a serrated tying platform built into the tip. The tying platform gives the surgeon a textured surface to control suture material without slipping during knot tying, while the tungsten carbide keeps the fine teeth sharper for longer than a plain steel jaw would under repeated sterilization.
This listing spans four configurations across two lengths, four and three quarter inches and six inches, with a standard or fine tip option at each length. Tissue forceps of this pattern are used throughout general, plastic and reconstructive surgery wherever tissue needs to be grasped gently while sutures are placed and tied.
Surgeons and assisting staff in hospital operating theatres treat this as one of the most commonly reached for instruments on a general surgery tray. As a reusable stainless steel instrument with tungsten carbide inserts, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between cases.
