Sklar TC Semken Tissue Forceps, Cross-Serrated
A straight tungsten carbide tissue forceps with cross-serrated 1x2 teeth, used to grasp tissue securely during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Tungsten Carbide Semken Tissue Forceps is a straight forceps with jaws finished in a cross-serrated pattern and 1x2 teeth, giving a firm, controlled grip on tissue during dissection and suturing. This listing spans two lengths, six and seven inches, letting the buyer choose the reach that suits the depth of the surgical field.
The tungsten carbide inserts keep the tooth pattern sharp and effective across more sterilization cycles than a plain stainless steel jaw would achieve. Semken pattern tissue forceps are used broadly across general and plastic surgery wherever a secure, non-slip grip on tissue is needed without the coarser bite of a heavier toothed forceps.
Surgeons and their assisting staff in hospital operating theatres treat this as a standard mid length tissue forceps on a general surgery tray. As a reusable instrument with tungsten carbide inserts, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between cases.
