Allis forceps are the everyday grasping clamp of general surgery. The row of small interlocking teeth takes a firm hold on the edge of soft tissue, fascia or a lesion that is being removed, and the ratchet keeps that hold so the instrument can be left hanging on the tissue as a handle for traction. At 15 cm they suit superficial and moderately deep work.
Because the teeth grip firmly, Allis forceps are best kept for tissue that is being removed or that can tolerate a secure hold; more delicate organs call for a Duval or Babcock pattern. Nursing and medical schools buying lab equipment for college skills rooms in India often include Allis forceps in suturing and excision practice kits.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Allis Tissue Forceps from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, surgical training centres, dealers and importers.

What are Allis Tissue Forceps used for?
Allis Tissue Forceps are used to grip soft tissue. Their interlocking teeth and locking ratchet let the surgeon hold tissue firmly and apply traction, for example on tissue being excised or on the edges of a wound during closure.
How many teeth do Allis Tissue Forceps have?
Allis Tissue Forceps have 4 x 5 teeth, with precise adjustment so they interlock evenly when the jaws close. The multiple small teeth spread the grip across the tissue edge instead of concentrating it at one point.
How long are Allis Tissue Forceps?
These Allis Tissue Forceps are 15 cm long. That length suits superficial and moderately deep surgical work and fits comfortably on a standard instrument tray or in a student practice kit.
Do Allis Tissue Forceps lock?
Yes, Allis Tissue Forceps have a hard, lockable ratchet. Once engaged, it keeps the jaws closed so the forceps can stay attached to the tissue while the surgeon's hands are free for other steps.
What steel are Allis Tissue Forceps made of?
Allis Tissue Forceps are made of quenched, magnetic martensitic steel with 0.20% carbon and 13% chromium. For any additional material documentation your tender requires, ask us through the contact page before ordering.
