Pitanguy Flap-Grasping Forceps, 14 cm – Two Teeth

Holding a flap is a pulling job, not a steadying one. The tissue has to be drawn into position and kept there against its own tension, and a grip that merely rests on the surface slides off under that load. Two protruding teeth engage rather than press — they enter the flap edge and hold it from within, which is the only reliable way to keep tension on tissue that is actively trying to retract.

Two rather than one keeps the flap square. A single tooth lets the tissue rotate around its point, so the flap swings as it is pulled and the edge no longer meets where the surgeon placed it. Two points fix the orientation as well as the position. At 14 cm the forceps stay balanced for the detailed work of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, where the flap being pulled is also the skin that will be visible afterwards.
