Dental Tissue Forceps 18cm

Dental Tissue Forceps 18cm

The Dental Tissue Forceps (18 cm) is a straight, thumb-style instrument measuring 18 cm in total length, constructed from medical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish that reduces glare under surgical lighting. The lower grip section carries a gold-plated band — a standard industry marker identifying tungsten carbide-tipped jaws on the working end. The jaw tips feature fine cross-serrated tungsten carbide inserts that deliver a firm, non-slip hold on soft tissue without crushing the underlying structure. The flat, knurled thumb platform along the handle body provides stable finger placement and consistent squeeze control during prolonged use. The spring-loaded handle design allows rapid opening between tissue grasps without repositioning the hand.

The slender, tapered profile of these tissue forceps allows access into confined intraoral spaces with minimal obstruction to the surgeon’s sightline. TC-tipped jaws retain their grip surface significantly longer than standard stainless-only tips, reducing instrument replacement frequency in high-volume clinical settings. The instrument is fully autoclavable and compatible with ultrasonic cleaning cycles without degradation of the carbide inserts or gold plating.

Oral surgeons, periodontists, and implant surgeons use Dental Tissue Forceps (18 cm) to grasp and stabilize mucosal flap edges during suturing, position tissue grafts, manipulate gingival margins, and handle membranes in guided bone regeneration procedures. Dental tooth forceps of this pattern are also used during extraction site management to remove residual soft tissue tags from the socket before closure.

Leader Surgical supplies this instrument with verified tungsten carbide insert quality and dimensional consistency, meeting the handling demands of both routine dental procedures and complex oral surgical cases.

What does “1×2 teeth” mean in the product description?
This refers to the tip configuration where one tooth on one side interlocks with two teeth on the opposite side. This design provides a secure, non-slip grip on firm tissues like skin or muscle, though it requires careful handling on very fragile tissues to avoid tearing.
