Which forceps would be best for minimal tissue trauma?

The Brown-Adson Tissue Forceps are specifically designed with fine, flat jaws that provide a delicate grip on tissue. This feature minimizes trauma during surgical procedures by allowing for a secure hold without crushing or tearing the tissue. The design often includes multiple small teeth that assist in grasping tissue gently, which is crucial during surgeries where maintaining the integrity of the tissue is a priority. This characteristic makes them particularly suitable for procedures requiring careful handling of sensitive or delicate tissues.

In contrast, Bonney Tissue Forceps are designed for heavier tissue manipulation and may cause more trauma to delicate structures. Crile Forceps are primarily used for clamping blood vessels and tissues, and their design is not focused on minimizing tissue trauma. Mixter Forceps, while useful for various surgical tasks, are not specifically tailored for gentle gripping and can inadvertently inflict more damage than intended. Thus, in scenarios where the preservation of tissue integrity is critical, Brown-Adson Tissue Forceps are the optimal choice.
