There is maximum mobility in the use of tissue forceps if the wound is approached from the opposite sides by two hands. If you were to get close to the wound from the similar side with 2 hands, both your elbows will be close to your sides of your body, minimizing the flexibilty of both things. Any motion of the body to the left, to relax up your right hand, which cramps the left. As well, any movement of the body to the right, to free up the left hand, in the same way compromises the ability of the right.
When approaching the wound with right & left hands from opposite sides, turning the body may free an elbow from the side, escalating your movement of 1 without cramping the other. This means that the advantage in movement 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, forceps maneuvers requiring wrist flexion should be started in wrist extension and vice versa. Maneuvers that require supination should be started in pronation and vice versa.
Forceps are used to hold tissue during cutting; it retracts for exposure; it stabilizes for suturing; extract needles; grasp vessels for cautery; deep in the wound, pass the ligatures around the hemostats; pack sponges; grab free objects for extraction; and then clear the blood with cottonoid or any other type of small sponge.
When sewing on the skin, visualize where the stich will be going into before you grab the tittue with your forceps. When you grasp it can distract & give an invalid perspective, thereby resulting in improperly lined up closure. Grasp the tittue away from the point of needle entrance. mistake many people make is grab the tittue at the desired point of where the needle enters, This blocks that point & it forces it to bite. The forceps should stabilize comfortably away from the site fo where the needle enters.
During suturing, the importance of the tissue forceps can be expanded from merely picking up the layer to be sutured, to include increasing accuracy and exposure, if these 4 positions are used with each stitch.

There is maximum mobility in the use of tissue forceps if the wound is approached from the other side by 2 hands. If your left and right 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. If you move your body to the left, to free the right hand, further cramps the left. As well, any movement of the body to the right, to free the left hand, this also puts into jeopardy the functions of the right hand.
When approaching the wound with right & left hands from opposite side, If you turn the body then you can free up an elbow on the other side, increasing your movement of 1 without cramping the other. There is, therefore, 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 get better mobility, 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.
When cutting, its best to use something like the forceps; retract for exposure; steady during suturing; extract needles; grab vessels for cautery; 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 on the skin, imagine the point where the stitch is to pierce prior grab the tissue with the forceps. Grabing can distort and give false perspective, thereby consequential in improperly lined up closure. away from the needle entrace; Grasp the tittue. A general 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 can 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 increasing accuracy & exposure, if the following four positions are used with each stitch.
