Adson Forceps - 1×2 Teeth
Adson Forceps with 1×2 (rat-tooth) teeth are the standard tissue-handling forceps for skin closure and general surgical work in small animals. The interlocking single-on-double tooth pattern provides a positive, non-slip grip on skin and fascia without crushing the tissue, while the slim 12 cm body offers excellent control during suturing and dissection.

What is the Adson Forceps - 1×2 Teeth used for in animal research?
Adson Forceps with 1×2 teeth are tissue-handling forceps used for grasping skin, fascia, and other tough tissues during surgical closure and general surgical manipulation in small animals. The interlocking rat-tooth pattern provides a secure, non-slip grip without crushing.
What material is the Adson Forceps made from?
The Adson Forceps are manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel (Inox), providing excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and autoclave compatibility.
Is the Adson Forceps - 1×2 Teeth autoclavable and reusable?
Yes. The Adson Forceps withstand standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 min) and can be reused across many procedures when properly cleaned and inspected.
Which animal species is the Adson Forceps appropriate for?
The 12 cm Adson Forceps are dimensioned for surgery on mice, rats, and other small animals, providing the right balance of reach and tissue control for benchtop rodent surgical procedures.
What is the difference between 1×2 teeth and smooth-tip Adson Forceps?
The 1×2 teeth (rat-tooth) Adson Forceps grip skin and tough tissue securely without slipping but can damage delicate tissue. Smooth-tip Adson Forceps are gentler on fine tissue but offer less holding force. Choose the 1×2 pattern (11027-12) for skin and fascia work; choose smooth or cross-serrated tips for delicate tissue manipulation.
