Super atraumatic grasper apparatus

1. A grasper arrangement having a pair of opposed, elongated, movable jaw members at a distal end of said grasper arrangement pinchably actuatable from a handle portion at a proximal end of said grasper arrangement, said jaw members each having a toothed insert attachably secured thereon to thus comprise a pair of opposed toothed inserts;

each said toothed insert having an array of teeth disposed on a first side thereof to grasp body tissue therewith,

wherein said array of teeth has a wavy sinusoidal shape when viewed from a longitudinal cross section of each said toothed insert, and

wherein a crest height of said array of teeth decreases from a distal end of the movable jaw members toward a proximal end of the movable jaw members so as to form a gradually increasing gap therebetween, and said gap increases towards the proximal end of the movable jaw members and

each said toothed insert having a securement on a second side thereof to securely engage said jaw members thereto.

2. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of said jaw members are of decreasing tapered thickness from a distal end thereof to a proximal end thereof to improve pinching of tissue.

3. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein each said toothed insert is of decreasing thickness from a distal end thereof to a proximal end thereof to improve pinching of tissue.

4. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein said array of teeth has an elongated channel formed parallel to bottom surfaces of at least one of said toothed inserts, and extending longitudinally from a distal end to a proximal end of at least one of said toothed inserts.

5. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein said securement comprises a tab extending off of a backside of each of said tooth inserts to mate with said jaw members.

6. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein said securement comprises an adhesive disposed between each said toothed insert and said jaw members.

7. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 5 , wherein each of said jaw members has an indentation to receive said tab on said tooth insert.

8. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein said toothed inserts are comprised of soft resilient material.

9. The grasper arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the jaw members each have a first end plate provided with an elongated slot that operates as a cam slot with a push pull rod at a proximal end of the grasper arrangement.
