Thumb & Tissue Forceps

Thumb and tissue forceps are hand-held, non-locking instruments used to grasp, hold and steady tissue during surgery — used much like precision tweezers. Healermed Instruments manufactures toothed and non-toothed tissue forceps in German stainless steel for secure, controlled handling.

Quick guide: toothed forceps grip firm tissue securely; non-toothed (smooth) forceps handle delicate tissue without crushing it.

Adson Forceps Fine forceps for skin and superficial tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are tissue forceps used for?

Tissue forceps are used to grasp and steady tissue while the surgeon cuts, sutures or dissects. They work like tweezers and do not lock shut.

When should toothed forceps be used instead of smooth forceps?

Toothed forceps are used on firm tissue like skin or fascia where a secure grip is needed. Smooth forceps are used on delicate tissue to avoid crushing it.
