Controlled Tissue Handling with Straight, Tungsten Carbide Jaws

The Wangensteen tissue forceps are 9-inch straight forceps designed for tissue handling in general surgery. Their serrated tungsten carbide jaws provide a defined contacting surface for engaging tissue during routine surgical manipulation, while the straight profile supports a direct approach and clear orientation at the operative site. The flat handle offers a familiar, straightforward format for instrument handling and control. This combination gives surgical teams a practical forceps option when dependable reach, purposeful jaw engagement, and consistent handling are needed across general surgery workflows.
