Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1x2 teeth mean on tissue forceps?
The 1x2 tooth configuration means one jaw has a single tooth and the opposing jaw has two teeth. When the forceps are closed, the single tooth interlocks between the two teeth on the opposite jaw, creating a secure, interlocking grip.

What is the difference between tissue forceps and dressing forceps?
Tissue forceps have interlocking teeth at the tips for a secure grip. Dressing forceps typically have serrated or smooth tips and are used for handling dressings and non-tissue materials.

Are these autoclavable?
Yes. These stainless steel forceps are compatible with standard autoclave sterilization. Follow your facility's sterilization protocols and inspect the instrument for wear or tip damage before each use.

Are these reusable?
Yes. These are reusable stainless steel instruments designed for repeated use with proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization between uses.
