The Allis Bone Clamp features broader, cross-serrated jaws designed specifically to grip hard bone tissue firmly during orthopedic work. A Kocher Clamp, on the other hand, has interlocking teeth primarily intended for grasping tough soft tissue, fascia, or heavy connective structures. Essentially, one is built for bone fixation while the other handles robust soft tissue manipulation, so using the right tool for the right purpose matters greatly in surgery.
