Size:
Dissecting forceps with toothed jaws typically come in a standard length of 6 inches (approximately 15 cm).
 
Applications:
Due to their versatility and secure grasping ability, dissecting forceps with toothed jaws find use in a broad range of surgical procedures, including:
General surgery: Grasping and manipulating tissues during abdominal and soft tissue procedures.
Orthopedic surgery: Assisting with dissections and holding tissues during bone and joint procedures.
Plastic surgery: Manipulating tissues during reconstructive surgeries.
Otolaryngology (ENT): Grasping tissues in ear, nose, and throat surgeries.
Neurosurgery: Handling delicate tissues in brain and spinal cord surgeries (may use finer-tipped forceps).
 
Advantages of Toothed Forceps:
Enhanced grip on tissues compared to non-toothed forceps, particularly beneficial for slippery or fatty tissues.
Reduced risk of tissue slippage during manipulation.
