There is maximum mobility in the use of tissue forceps if the wound is approached from the other side by two hands. If your right and left hand approach the wound from the same side or end, both your elbows will be close to your sides of your body, limiting the mobility of both extremities. Any movement of the body to the left, to free the right hand, which cramps the left. As well, any movement of the body to the right, to free the left hand, in the same way compromises the ability of the right.
When coming close to the wound with left & right hands from opposite side, If you turn the body then you can free up an elbow on the other side, increasing movement of one extremity without cramping the other hand. This means that the an improved way to draw near the wound using the forceps from the side or end on the other side of the medical instrument in right hand.
To improve flexibilty, If you move your wrist using forceps should be started in wrist extension and vice versa. If you have a maneuver that does mandate supination in pronation & vice versa.
Forceps are used to hold tissue during cutting; it retracts for exposure; steady during suturing; extract needles; grab the vessles with cation; pass ligatures around hemostats deep in wound; pack sponges; grab free objects for extraction; and clear blood with cottonoid or other small sponges.
When sewing, particulary on the skin, visualize the point where the stitch is to enter before grab the tissue with the forceps. When you grab it can distort & give an invalid perspective, Resulting in improperly lined up closing. Grab the tittue away from the point of needle entrance. A common error of the beginner is to hold the tittue at the desired point of needle entrance, thereby blocking that point & forcing a different bite. Instead, the tissue forceps should be used to expose & stabilize comfortably away from the site of needle entrance.
When suturing, the tissue forceps can pick up the layer of the sutured, to include more exposure and accuracy, if the following four positions are used with each stitch.

If you advance a wound from the opposite side with both hands using tissue forceps then mobility should be alot easier. If your left and right hand approach the wound from the same side or end, your two elbows will lie close to the sides of your body, minimizing the flexibilty of both extremities. Any movement of the body to the left, to lighten up the right hand, which cramps the left. As well, any motion of the body to the right, to free up the left hand, in the same way compromises the ability of the right.
When coming close to the wound with you right & left hands from the either side, turning the body can always free up an elbow from the side, increasing movement of one extremity without cramping up the other hand. There is, therefore, advantage in mobility by coming close to the wound with the forceps from the side or end on the other side of the medical instrument in right hand.
To get better mobility, If you move your wrist using forceps should begin in a wrist extension and the other way around as well. Maneuvers that require supination should begin in pronation and vice versa.
When cutting, its best to use something like the forceps; it retracts for exposure; it steady for suturing; extract needles; grab the vessles with cation; deep in the wound, pass the ligatures by the hemostats; pack sponges; grasp free objects for extraction; and clean up blood with cottonoid or other small sponges.
When sewing, particulary on the skin, visualize where the stich will be entering before you grasp the tittue with your forceps. When you grasp it can distort and give a false perspective, thereby consequential in improperly lined up closure. Grasp the tittue away from the point of needle entering. A common error of the beginner is to hold the tittue at the desired point of needle entrance, This blocks that point & it forces it to bite. Instead, the tissue forceps should be used to expose and stabilize comfortably away from the site of needle entrance.
When suturing, the importance of the tissue forceps can be expanded from merely picking up the layer to be sutured, to include more exposure and accuracy, if the following 4 positions are used with each stitch.
