Semken Dressing Fcps serr str 15cm

Clinical Application

Semken-style dressing forceps with serrated tips are intended for secure handling of dressings, sponges, gauze, and other non-delicate materials during wound care, dressing changes, minor procedures, and general surgery. The serrated jaws provide reliable purchase on slippery or moist materials, making these forceps useful for packing wounds, removing dressings, transferring instruments or swabs, and routine operating-room tasks where atraumatic tissue handling is not required.

Design & Configuration

The straight, 15 cm configuration offers a neutral shaft alignment that facilitates direct access to superficial wounds and dressing fields while providing good tactile control. As a thumb-style dressing forceps, the hand-held geometry supports one-handed manipulation of dressings and sponges. Serrated jaw surfaces reduce slippage and improve control when grasping moist materials or textiles compared with smooth-tipped forceps.
