Waugh Tissue Forceps 1:2 15.5cm

Waugh Dissecting Forceps 1:2 15.5cm

Waugh Tissue Forceps also known as Waugh Dissecting Forceps, are the most commonly used. Forceps have 1:2 teeth and cross-serrated teeth. 15.5cm short length and wider thumb area make it ideal for minor procedures.

Precision Grip Where It Matters Most

Tissue handling during oral surgery is one of the most technique-sensitive tasks a clinician performs, and the instrument in hand directly shapes the outcome. The Waugh Tissue Forceps 1:2 15.5cm are designed for exactly this demand. Their serrated, interlocking 1:2 teeth provide a secure, non-slip grip on tissue during suturing and wound management, reducing the need for repeated repositioning under clinical pressure. Built from high-grade medical stainless steel, these forceps maintain their form and finish through hundreds of autoclave cycles without warping or surface corrosion.

Built for Stability in Surgical Environments

At 15.5cm, this instrument sits within the ideal length range for intraoral and peri-oral surgical procedures. The flat, wide thumb platform gives the clinician a stable, fatigue-reducing hold even during extended work. The 1:2 tooth configuration distributes grip force evenly across the tissue surface, minimising localised tissue crush while maintaining firm control. This balance matters significantly in periodontal flap procedures, soft tissue closures, and implant site management where precision and gentleness must coexist.

Key Features That Make the Difference

The Surgical Tissue Forceps 15.5cm are constructed to consistent clinical tolerances. Fine-pointed tips allow precise tissue engagement in confined intraoral spaces, and a satin handle finish reduces glare under surgical lighting while providing secure tactile grip. Full autoclave compatibility and corrosion-resistant steel construction make these instruments a long-term clinical investment. Practitioners across Australia rely on the Waugh design because it delivers reliable grip, predictable performance, and comfort under prolonged use.
