Dressing Fcps USA model Fluted Grip 21cm

Clinical Application

Used primarily for atraumatic handling of sterile dressings, gauze, sponges and packing material during wound care, dressing changes and minor procedures. The fluted jaw surface improves purchase on soft materials, reducing slippage when placing or removing dressings and when applying packing into shallow wounds or cavities. These forceps are intended for manipulation of non-delicate materials rather than for sharp tissue dissection.

Design & Configuration

The instrument is configured as a non-locking thumb forceps to provide direct fingertip control and tactile feedback during atraumatic handling of dressings. The fluted (longitudinally grooved) jaw pattern increases contact area and friction, helping to secure soft, fibrous materials without compressing or tearing them. At 21 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and control for bedside dressing changes, emergency wound care and procedural prep.
