The Curved Tissue Suturing Forceps are designed to hold and stabilize soft tissue while the suture needle is passed through the small opening at the working tip.
During suturing, the clinician uses the curved tips to grasp and position the soft-tissue flap. The circular opening provides a defined passage for the suture needle, allowing the tissue to remain supported during needle insertion.
This instrument is intended for soft-tissue closure following dental implant placement, bone augmentation, and other oral surgical procedures.
Features
-
Hold the Tissue During Suturing
The curved working ends grasp and stabilize the soft tissue, helping maintain the intended tissue position while the suture is placed.
-
Needle Guide Openings
A small circular opening at each tip allows the suture needle to pass through the held tissue without first releasing the forceps.
-
Tissue Positioning and Needle Passage in One Instrument
The same instrument can be used to hold the tissue flap in position and provide an opening for needle passage during suturing.
-
Curved Working Ends
The curved profile supports access to confined oral areas and allows the tissue to be approached from an angle.
-
Spring-Handle Control
The tweezer-style spring handle provides direct opening and closing control through fingertip pressure.
-
Fenestrated Handle
The openings along the handle reduce unnecessary instrument bulk and make the instrument easy to identify within a surgical setup.
Needle Guide Tip Design
Each curved working end features a small circular opening.
During suturing, the tips are used to grasp and stabilize the soft tissue. Once the tissue is held in the required position, the suture needle can be passed through the circular opening and the supported tissue.
This design allows the clinician to maintain tissue control during needle penetration without releasing and repositioning the tissue before the stitch is placed.

Important Notes
- Intended for use by trained dental and surgical professionals.
- Confirm that the selected suture needle can pass through the tip opening before use.
- Use the minimum pressure required to hold the soft tissue securely.
- Do not use the instrument to drive, bend, or clamp the surgical needle.
- Use an appropriate needle holder to control and advance the needle.
- Inspect the circular openings, tip alignment, and instrument condition before every procedure.
- Follow the healthcare facility’s validated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocol.
FAQ
What are the small holes at the tips used for?
The holes provide a passage for the suture needle. The forceps hold the soft tissue in position while the needle is passed through the opening and the supported tissue.
Does the instrument hold the tissue or the suture thread?
It is designed to hold and stabilize soft tissue during needle passage. It is not primarily intended for holding suture thread.
Does it replace a needle holder?
No. The forceps stabilize the tissue and provide a needle passage opening. An appropriate surgical needle holder should still be used to control and advance the needle.
Why are the tips curved?
The curved working ends support angled access to soft tissue in confined oral surgical areas, including sites around teeth, implants, and grafted regions.
Which procedures is it intended for?
It may be used for soft-tissue suturing following dental implant placement, bone augmentation, periodontal surgery, and other oral surgical procedures.
