Staude Moore Tenaculum Forceps

WE-8153

Description:

• Material: It is typically crafted from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to withstand repeated sterilization.
• Jaws/Tips: Unlike many hemostats with full serrations, the Allis forceps has short jaws with small, interlocking teeth (commonly 5x6 or 4x5 configuration) at the very tip. This design provides a secure grip on tough, dense tissues without causing as much crush injury as smooth-jawed clamps might, as the pressure is distributed at the tooth points.
• Function: They are primarily used to grasp and hold firm tissues, such as fascia, breast tissue, or bowel tissue, to retract them during surgery or to assist with wound closure and suturing. They are considered traumatic and generally avoided for very delicate structures like nerves or blood vessels.
