Mod. Martin Dressing Fcps str 17cm

Clinical Application

Modified Martin dressing forceps, straight, 17 cm, are intended for secure handling and manipulation of dressings, sponges, packing material and other non-delicate items during operative procedures and post-operative wound care. Their length and straight alignment provide controlled reach and stable two-handed transfer when placing or removing dressings, packing cavities, or retrieving small items from the operative field. They are appropriate for use in general surgery, minor procedures, emergency departments, and ambulatory care where reliable grasping of dressings and supplies is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration gives direct alignment between the instrument shaft and the working tips, facilitating accurate placement and retrieval in shallow to moderate depth wounds and dressing sites. The Modified Martin pattern is optimized for broad contact with dressings and sponges to minimize slippage during handling. The 17 cm overall length balances reach and control—long enough for reach into dressings or wound sites while remaining maneuverable in confined spaces.
