Gross Maier Dressing Fcps str 18cm

Clinical Application

Gross-Maier dressing forceps are used for handling dressings and wound packing, as well as gentle manipulation of soft tissue during minor procedures and bedside wound care. The broad serrated tips provide secure purchase on gauze and other dressings without excessive localized pressure on tissue, making the instrument useful in general surgery, emergency, wound care clinics, and ENT procedures involving packing or dressing changes.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration offers direct, unobstructed line-of-sight and precise control when placing or removing dressings and packing. The Gross-Maier-style broad jaws distribute grasping force across a larger surface area, reducing the risk of tissue crush injury while maintaining a reliable grip on sponges and dressings. A box-lock hinge provides stable alignment and repeatable jaw closure for consistent handling.
