The Tissue Graspers with Shark Teeth are designed for controlled grasping of tissue and bone during surgical procedures. Their shark-tooth working jaws provide a toothed gripping surface intended to securely engage the material being manipulated.
The instrument features a 7" (17.8 cm) shaft and 10" (25.4 cm) overall length. The shaft design allows the instrument to be used in narrow spaces, while three jaw orientations—Up Angled, Straight, and Down Angled—provide different approaches to the operative area.
Key Features
- Shark-tooth jaws designed to firmly grasp tissue and bone
- Shaft designed for use in narrow spaces
- Suitable for removing discarded or loose material
- Three jaw configurations available
- Up Angled Jaw
- Straight Jaw
- Down Angled Jaw
- 7" (17.8 cm) shaft length
- 10" (25.4 cm) overall length
- 9 mm long × 5 mm high × 1.8 mm wide jaw
Shark-Tooth Jaw Design
The working end features shark teeth designed to provide firm engagement with tissue and bone. The toothed jaw can help maintain contact with the material being grasped during controlled manipulation.
The specified jaw dimensions are:
- Jaw Length: 9 mm
- Jaw Height: 5 mm
- Jaw Width: 1.8 mm
These dimensions remain consistent across the listed jaw configurations.
Jaw Configurations
Up Angled Jaw
The Up Angled Jaw configuration positions the working end upward relative to the shaft. This orientation can provide an alternative approach when access from an upward angle is required.
Specifications:
- Shaft Length: 7" (17.8 cm)
- Overall Length: 10" (25.4 cm)
- Jaw: 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm
Straight Jaw
The Straight Jaw configuration provides a straight working orientation along the shaft.
Specifications:
- Shaft Length: 7" (17.8 cm)
- Overall Length: 10" (25.4 cm)
- Jaw: 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm
Down Angled Jaw
The Down Angled Jaw configuration positions the working end downward relative to the shaft, providing an alternative approach to structures located below the instrument's shaft axis.
Specifications:
- Shaft Length: 7" (17.8 cm)
- Overall Length: 10" (25.4 cm)
- Jaw: 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm
Configuration Comparison
| Jaw Configuration | Shaft Length | Overall Length | Jaw Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up Angled Jaw | 7" (17.8 cm) | 10" (25.4 cm) | 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm |
| Straight Jaw | 7" (17.8 cm) | 10" (25.4 cm) | 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm |
| Down Angled Jaw | 7" (17.8 cm) | 10" (25.4 cm) | 9 × 5 × 1.8 mm |
Shaft Design
The 7" (17.8 cm) shaft provides an extended working reach while the relatively narrow shaft profile is designed for use in confined spaces.
The shaft length combined with the 10" (25.4 cm) overall instrument length provides access to the operative area while keeping the handles outside the immediate working site.
Tissue and Bone Grasping
The shark-tooth jaws are designed to provide secure engagement with tissue and bone. The toothed surfaces can assist with maintaining contact during controlled grasping and manipulation.
The instrument may also be used for removing discarded or loose material where controlled grasping is required.
Surgical Applications
The Tissue Graspers with Shark Teeth are intended to assist with:
- Tissue grasping
- Bone grasping
- Tissue manipulation
- Removal of loose or discarded material
- Procedures requiring access through narrow spaces
- Surgical applications requiring an angled or straight working approach
The appropriate jaw configuration should be selected according to the required direction of approach and the anatomy or material being handled.
Selecting the Jaw Configuration
The primary difference between the three configurations is the orientation of the working jaw:
- Up Angled Jaw — working end angled upward
- Straight Jaw — straight working orientation
- Down Angled Jaw — working end angled downward
All three configurations share the same shaft length, overall length, and specified jaw dimensions.

| Jaw Width | 1.8 mm | 1.8 mm | 1.8 mm |
| Jaw Type | Shark Tooth | Shark Tooth | Shark Tooth |
Handling and Use Considerations
Select the jaw orientation according to the required surgical approach and working angle. The shark-tooth jaws should be positioned appropriately around the intended tissue, bone, or material before applying controlled pressure.
Before use, inspect the jaws, shaft, and handle mechanism for proper function and visible damage. After use, follow the healthcare facility's established procedures for cleaning, inspection, sterilization, maintenance, and storage.
