FAQs
What are Gerald tissue forceps used for?
They hold and reposition soft tissue during oral surgery, most often stabilising a flap while suturing after extractions, implant placement or periodontal procedures.
Why choose a toothed tip over a serrated one?
Interlocking teeth grip tissue securely with less squeezing force, which reduces crush trauma to a flap. Smooth or serrated tips are gentler still but can slip on tougher tissue.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, heat-treated for tip hardness and long service life, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
