Tissue Forceps Built for Cardiovascular Work
The tissue forceps sits in Sklar's tissue forceps line, in the Sklar OR Grade range. This instrument is used for grasping, holding, and manipulating various types of tissues in multiple procedures. These instruments have spring tension shanks that ultimately determine how far the instrument will open and the thickness of the tissue that can be held. It is made of stainless steel. As a reusable instrument, it returns to service after cleaning and sterilization between cases.
