Standard Kocher Tissue Forceps Teeth 1x2

Premium tissue forceps with single-tooth (1x2) pattern providing precise tissue grip with minimal crushing — ideal for skin closure and delicate tissue handling. The Kocher-pattern interlocking teeth provide a positive, non-slip grip on tissue during surgical manipulation, retraction, and suturing. Available in multiple lengths for different tissue depths.

Design & Function

The toothed tissue forceps design allows surgeons to grasp and manipulate tissue with one hand while suturing or cutting with the other. Unlike smooth dressing forceps, the interlocking teeth prevent tissue slippage — essential when handling skin edges during closure, manipulating fascia, or retracting tissue for exposure.

Clinical Applications

• Skin edge eversion during wound closure
• Tissue retraction and manipulation
• Fascial layer handling in layered closures
• Suture assistance — holding tissue while needle passes
• Specimen handling and orientation
