Singley (Tuttle) tissue forceps 18" straight shafts serrated fenestrated jaws flat handle

Extended Reach and Controlled Tissue Handling

The Singley (Tuttle) tissue forceps is an 18-inch general surgery instrument designed for grasping and manipulating tissue during procedures that benefit from extended reach. Its straight shafts support a direct working approach, while the serrated, fenestrated jaws provide a defined tissue-contact pattern and an open jaw profile that can help maintain visibility around the grasping area. The flat handle offers a familiar, straightforward point of control during instrument handling. Together, these features provide a practical option for tissue-focused tasks in deeper or less accessible operative fields where reach and controlled manipulation are important.

Use Cases

• Grasp and manipulate tissue during general surgical procedures requiring an extended instrument length.
• Approach tissue through deeper operative fields using the 18-inch straight-shaft configuration.
• Use the serrated jaws for controlled tissue engagement during positioning or retraction tasks.
• Work around the grasped area with the fenestrated jaw design when maintaining visual access is useful.
• Apply the flat handle for direct manual control during tissue-handling steps.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the forceps according to the facility's established instrument-care procedures and applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the serrated, fenestrated jaws and straight shafts for visible residue, damage, or misalignment before handling or reuse.
• Handle the jaws and flat handle carefully to avoid impact or contact with other instruments that could affect working surfaces.
• Store the forceps in a manner that protects the shafts and jaws from bending, abrasion, or unnecessary contact.
