Allis Tissue Forceps

Product Overview

Allis tissue forceps, sometimes referred to simply as Allis forceps, are a type of handheld surgical instrument designed for grasping and holding soft tissues. They are named after Dr. Oscar H. Allis, an American surgeon who made significant contributions to the field of surgery in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Our forceps are typically made of high-quality stainless steel, which ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and easy sterilization.

Allis forceps feature a unique design that sets them apart from other surgical tools. The key components of these forceps include:

1. Teeth: One of the most distinctive features of these forceps is the arrangement of small, sharp teeth along the jaws of the instrument. 
2. Jaws: The jaws are relatively short and curved, which allows for precision when gripping tissues in tight spaces. The jaws are available in various lengths to accommodate different surgical requirements.
3. Ratcheted Mechanism: Many Allis tissue forceps feature a ratcheted mechanism. This mechanism enables the surgeon to lock the forceps in position, ensuring a constant grip on the tissue without the need for continuous manual pressure. 
4. Finger Rings: Our ergonomically designed finger rings ensure surgeon comfort, and precise control, and reduce hand fatigue in lengthy surgeries.
5. Variety of Sizes: These forceps are available in various sizes and designs, including straight or curved jaws and lengths ranging from 4 to 8 inches.

2. Obstetrics and Gynecology: Obstetricians and gynecologists use Allis forceps during procedures like cesarean sections, hysterectomies, and other reproductive surgeries. They help in securely grasping and manipulating the uterine tissue.
3. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: In plastic surgery, Allis tissue forceps are valuable for holding and positioning tissues during procedures like breast reconstruction, facial surgeries, and skin grafts.
4. ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Surgery: In ENT surgery, Allis tissue forceps come in handy for holding delicate structures in the throat and nasal passages, making them useful in procedures such as tonsillectomies and septoplasties.
5. Orthopedic Surgery: Orthopedic surgeons employ Allis forceps when working with soft tissues around bones, especially in procedures like tendon repairs and ligament reconstructions.
