Potts Smith Tissue Forceps 1x2 Teeth Straight 20.9 cm (8.2)

Controlled Tissue Handling with Practical Reach and Visibility

The Potts-Smith tissue forceps is a surgical grasping instrument designed for controlled handling and positioning of tissue. Its 8 1/4-inch straight profile provides useful reach within the operative field, while the 1x2-tooth serrated jaws support secure engagement during routine tissue manipulation. The insulated flat handle offers a familiar handling surface for instrument control. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Plastic Surgery, this forceps can support tasks that require deliberate placement, stable tissue handling, and clear access around the working site without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• General Surgery: grasp, position, and manipulate tissue during open surgical workflows.
• Neurosurgery: support controlled tissue handling where the straight profile provides practical reach within the operative field.
• Plastic Surgery: assist with deliberate tissue positioning during procedures requiring careful handling and visual access.
• Use the 1x2-tooth serrated jaws for secure engagement when a toothed tissue forceps is appropriate to the task.
• Use the flat handle to maintain a consistent grip while directing the straight instrument toward the working area.
