Selection Guidance
Choosing the correct Micro Tissue Forcep depends on the procedure type, required reach, and preferred grip style. Toothed (1 x 2) tips hold tissue securely, diamond-coated mouth-tips add grip, and smooth ring tips minimize surface trauma. Shaft length and handle geometry should align with the surgical approach and the depth of the operative field.
Clinical Use
In the dental practice, the ZEPF-Line micro forceps in this collection are used for soft-tissue handling and suturing in microsurgical procedures: holding and positioning the flap margin and thin grafts in periodontal plastic and implant surgery, and holding tissue while fine sutures are placed and tied.
Care and Reconditioning
Clean, disinfect and sterilize these micro forceps between patients following the manufacturer instructions and the symbols on the product package, and inspect the jaws, tips and joint before each use. Our Surgical Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Helmut Zepf surgical instruments.
