Potts Smith Dressing Fcps serr 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure, atraumatic handling of dressings, sponges and soft tissue, this Potts-Smith dressing forceps is used in procedures and care settings where controlled grip and tissue protection are required. Common applications include operating room dressing changes, wound debridement and closure assistance, sterile transfer of materials, and atraumatic handling of delicate tissues during minor surgical procedures.

Design & Configuration

The non-locking thumb-style configuration provides precise one-handed control for rapid grasp-and-release maneuvers. Serrated jaws increase surface friction to hold dressings and sponges securely without excessive compressive force, reducing slippage during instrument transfer or dressing placement. The 30 cm length gives extended reach into deep wounds, sterile fields, or dressing packs while keeping the operator's hands clear of the field.
