Delicate Brown Forceps – Tungsten Carbide, for Cartilage

Cartilage does not behave like other tissue, and it does not repair like other tissue either. It is firm, springy and slippery, so it needs a real grip — but it has no blood supply to remodel a puncture, so a hole made by a coarse tooth stays. On a graft destined to sit under thin nasal skin, that mark can remain palpable or visible in the result years later.

Small multiple teeth resolve the conflict. They engage the surface enough to stop a springy graft twisting out of the jaws, without any single tooth penetrating deeply enough to leave a defect. Tungsten carbide serrations keep those fine teeth biting: shallow teeth in plain steel round off quickly, and once rounded they neither grip cartilage nor spare it — the forceps simply squeezes harder to compensate, which is the outcome the pattern exists to avoid.
