Taylor Dressing Fcps serr 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure handling of dressings, gauze, sutures, and light soft tissue, this 17 cm dressing forceps is commonly used in wound debridement, dressing changes, minor procedures, and general-purpose use in the operating room, emergency department, clinics, and outpatient centers. The serrated tips provide positive purchase on wet or dry materials, reducing slippage when removing dressings or manipulating small items in the sterile field.

Design & Configuration

The instrument is a spring-action, two-arm thumb forceps configuration that allows for one-handed precision grip and controlled release without a locking mechanism. The 17 cm length balances reach and fingertip control, making it suitable for both superficial wound work and routine dressing tasks. Serrated jaw surfaces enhance friction against gauze and tissue, improving control during placement and removal of dressings and during light tissue handling.
