These 5.9 in (15 cm) No. 16 tissue forceps (TP16 pattern) have angled working ends with short, inward-curved tips. Each opposing tip has a 4×4 tooth pattern; the toothed ends measure 4 × 2 mm (width × length) for holding soft tissue and flap margins during suturing.
The non-locking, spring-action thumb handle gives the clinician direct control over grasping and release. Unlike a locking tissue forceps, it can be used to regrasp or reposition the tissue without disengaging a catch.
The angled, hooked working ends can approach a flap margin from the side, while the opposing teeth provide a defined grip on the tissue edge. This pattern is particularly useful when the clinician needs to make several small adjustments along a suture line.
