German-Steel Serrated Dressing Forceps / Tweezers
These 10-inch dressing forceps are designed for handling surgical dressings, swabs, and other materials in a clinical setting. The long shanks provide extended reach into deep cavities or confined spaces, maintaining a safe distance from the sterile field.
Manufactured from German stainless steel, these forceps offer excellent resistance to corrosion and repeated sterilisation cycles. The serrated tips ensure a firm grip on gauzes and other items without slippage, while the mirror finish allows for easy cleaning and inspection.
Primarily intended for use in surgical procedures, wound care, first aid, and veterinary medicine. They are an essential instrument for nurses, surgeons, paramedics, and dental professionals.
