Walter Carmalt Splinter Fcps cvd 10.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise removal of small foreign bodies and splinters and for delicate tissue manipulation in outpatient and operating room settings. Common clinical uses include wound and laceration care, dermatologic procedures, minor ENT tasks, and any procedure requiring pointed, controlled grasping in confined spaces. The fine splinter tip provides secure, point-contact purchase on small objects while minimizing collateral tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft geometry improves line-of-sight and approach angle when accessing wounds, nail beds, or recesses where a straight instrument would obstruct the view or require awkward hand positioning. The splinter-style jaws are tapered to a fine point to enable targeted grasping of small, slippery fragments. The overall balance and slim profile support controlled fingertip manipulation for precise extraction and atraumatic handling.
