Gerald Dressing Fcps serr Bayonet shaped 18cm

Clinical Application

Bayonet-shaped Gerald dressing forceps provide precise, controlled grasping of dressings, small packing materials, foreign bodies and delicate tissue in confined or deep workspaces. The offset (bayonet) shaft keeps the operator's hand clear of the line of sight, making these forceps particularly useful for ENT procedures (nasal and aural work), postoperative dressing changes, and minor outpatient procedures where visibility and reach are important.

Design & Configuration

The bayonet geometry places the hand below and to the side of the working tip so the shaft does not obstruct the visual axis. This allows accurate placement and removal of dressings or small items while maintaining a direct view of the field. Serrated tips deliver a secure grip on soft dressings and small objects without requiring excessive force, improving control for delicate manipulations in narrow anatomical corridors. The 18 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile control appropriate for common ENT and wound-care tasks.
