Allis pliers are medical forceps used to grasp fascia and tendons. They come in various sizes and shapes, with serrated jaws to hold tissue firmly without damage. They allow surgeons to access internal organs with minimal tissue damage and come in lockable and non-locking options.
Forceps are portable, hinged medical instruments used to grasp or hold objects. Using the principle of leverage, pliers can grip an object and apply pressure. Allis pliers have inward curved blades and a ratchet handle. This design makes it ideal for grasping fascia and tendons.
Fascia is a sheet or band of connective tissue, or fibrous tissue, that surrounds organs, blood vessels, muscles, bones, and nerves. It is an unbroken web to maintain structure, provide support and act as a shock absorber. The fascia is also the body’s second line of defense against infection.
A tendon is another type of fibrous connective tissue. Its main purpose is to connect muscle to bone. This connection allows muscles and tendons to work together to exert force so that the body can move.
Allis pliers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. One-piece and modular styles are also available. The shape, size and type of blade depend on the nature of the medical procedure. Most tongs are made of high-quality steel that can withstand repeated sterilization techniques for multiple uses.
Allis pliers come in sizes that generally range from delicate, or just over 5 inches, to 10 inches, by ten inches. The size of the blades and teeth can also vary. This variation in size allows the forceps to be used in many different surgical procedures.
There are two types of pliers. Non-locking pliers can have a hinge at one end, similar to a pair of tweezers, or hinged in the middle, similar to a pair of scissors. Locking pliers can be hinged in the center or near the gripping end. These grippers are used when the surface to be gripped needs to be locked in place.
Allis pliers are usually designed with serrated jaws or blades. These non-traumatic tooth-like structures allow tissue to be held firmly without damage. It also allows you to retract or move the fabric. Fascia retraction is often necessary when attempting surgical procedures on internal organs. It allows an unobstructed view and allows unobstructed access to the underlying structures.
Allis forceps give surgeons the freedom to access internal organs and structures with minimal damage to overlying tissue. These forceps can grip, hold, move or lock tissue in a specific location so that the surgeon can focus on the area requiring the surgical procedure. Lockable and non-locking options give surgeons more options and flexibility.
