Clinical Application
Designed for precise grasping and extraction of small foreign bodies, this splinter forceps is used in minor procedure settings such as dermatology, primary care, ENT, orthopedics, and outpatient clinics. Its fine tips allow controlled removal of splinters, glass, thorns, sutures, and other small fragments with minimal collateral tissue trauma. The 7.5 cm length provides close tactile control for superficial procedures and confined working fields.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features fine, tapered jaws that facilitate accurate point contact and visual access to small objects. The compact 7.5 cm overall length balances reach and hand stability, improving fingertip control during delicate maneuvers. A precision alignment between the jaws ensures consistent closure and secure grip on diminutive items, reducing the risk of slippage during extraction.
