2x3 Grasping Forcep
A 2x3 grasping forcep refers to a surgical instrument with a working end that has two teeth on one jaw and three teeth on the opposing jaw, providing a secure grip for tissues or blood vessels.
This configuration is commonly used for handling tougher tissues or structures that are difficult to hold, such as during general, orthopedic, or gynecological surgeries.
The design helps prevent slippage, making it suitable for procedures requiring hemostasis or tissue retraction.

One example is the SURTEX Premium Chaput Tissue Grasping Forcep, which features a 2x3 teeth configuration, an overall length of 12.5 cm (5 inches), a ring handle, and is crafted from premium stainless steel with a satin finish.
It is used to hold tissues and block blood vessels to prevent bleeding, particularly during surgical processes involving cut tissues.
Another example is the Comeg Surgical Laparoscopic 10mm 33cm 23 Claw Grasping Forcep, designed for laparoscopic procedures.

These forceps are typically reusable and made from durable materials like stainless steel, ensuring longevity and sterility.
While the 2x3 tooth configuration offers a firm grip, it may cause tissue damage or leave marks on delicate tissues, so it is generally avoided in procedures requiring minimal trauma.
For delicate tissues, forceps with fine serrated tips are preferred over those with teeth.
