Dressing Forceps, 12.5cm

Dressing Forceps, also known as thumb forceps or pickups, are surgical instruments characterized by their long, thin handles and serrated tips. They are typically used when dressing wounds where they hold gauze and other dressings. They may also be used during wound debridement to remove infected or necrotic tissue or debris from the wound. They may be used for suturing when needle holders are not accessible. Dressing forceps are designed to grip delicate tissue without causing damage, and they are often used in situations where precision and control are important. These dressing forceps are 12.5 cm (5") long and have a variety of tips. The super fine tips are 0.35 x 0.1 mm, and they can be sharp or blunt. A wider version (0.5 x 0.39 mm) pair is available with rounded tips. These dressing forceps are manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel, making them suitable for sterilization by autoclave or chemical sterilants. Be sure to clean your instruments properly after every use to remove proteinous and biological debris. Properly cleaning helps to improve the useable lifespan of your surgical instruments.
