Grasping soft tissue

A) Small, delicate Adson tissue forceps are used to gently stabilize soft tissue for suturing or dissection. (B) The Stillies pickup (top) is longer than the Adson pickup and is used to handle tissue in the more posterior aspect of the mouth. The college pliers (bottom) are angled forceps that are used for picking up small objects in the mouth or from the tray stand. The college pliers shown here represent the locking version.
