The most common teeth configuration for tissue forceps is called "rat-tooth" or "mouse-tooth" forceps. These forceps have small, fine, and delicate interlocking teeth that resemble the incisors of a rat or mouse. These teeth are designed to securely grasp and hold delicate tissues without causing excessive damage or trauma.

The rat-tooth configuration allows for a precise grip on tissues, making them ideal for procedures where delicate handling is required, such as in ophthalmic surgery, plastic surgery, and other fine surgical techniques. These forceps are available in various sizes and designs to suit different surgical needs.
