Waugh Dressing Fcps criss cross serr 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure handling of dressings, sponges and packing material, this Waugh-style dressing forceps provides reliable control during dressing changes, wound care and minor procedures. The serrated jaw pattern improves purchase on wet or slippery materials, reducing slippage when placing or removing gauze, sponge or packing. It is commonly used in general surgery, emergency care, dermatology, ENT and procedure rooms for tasks that require firm, controlled grasping without a locking ratchet.

Design & Configuration

The criss-cross serrated jaws create multi-directional friction across the contact surface, minimizing rotation of materials and improving grip on soft, moist items such as soaked gauze or sponges. The spring-action, non-locking design allows rapid open-and-close control for manipulation and transfer of dressings while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. At 15 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and fine control for bedside and minor operative use.
