FAQs
What are Gerald tissue forceps used for?
They are long, fine tissue forceps for handling delicate soft tissue during oral surgery, most often grasping and steadying it while you place sutures.
Curved or straight: which should I choose?
Both share the same 17.5cm length and Kocher 1x2 tip. The curved working end can make it easier to reach around contours and keep your hand out of your line of sight, while the straight version suits direct access. The choice comes down to the site and your own preference.
What does "Kocher" mean on this instrument?
It refers to the 1x2 toothed tip. The interlocking teeth help the forceps hold tissue securely with light hand pressure, so tissue is less likely to slip while you suture.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
