Clinical Application
Precision splinter forceps designed for atraumatic removal of small foreign bodies and splinters, and for fine tissue handling in minor procedures. The slim profile and fine tips allow controlled extraction in tight spaces such as fingertip wounds, superficial lacerations, external ear canal procedures, and dermatologic office procedures. Suitable for use in emergency departments, outpatient clinics, surgery centers, and specialty practices that require reliable, reusable fine forceps for routine foreign-body removal and delicate manipulation.
Design & Configuration
The slender, elongated shaft and fine-point tips enable direct visualization and precise fingertip control during extraction and grasping tasks. A narrow jaw profile minimizes collateral tissue contact, reducing trauma while permitting secure engagement of small, irregular objects. The 14 cm length provides reach for both superficial extremity work and slightly deeper access without compromising tactile feedback.
