Waugh Dressing Fcps criss cross serr 20cm

Clinical Application

Waugh dressing forceps with criss-cross serrations are intended for secure handling of dressings, gauze, and wound packing material in general surgical, emergency, and outpatient procedural settings. The serrated jaw pattern provides a dependable grip on moist or layered materials, aiding in dressing placement and removal, wound exploration, and extraction of small foreign bodies or debris from superficial wound beds.

Design & Configuration

The Waugh pattern combines elongated shafts with tapered jaws to provide reach into wound cavities and controlled access in confined operative fields. The criss-cross serrated finish on the working tips increases friction across the contact surface, reducing slippage when manipulating soaked dressings or packing material. At 20 cm overall length, this configuration balances reach with tactile control for one-handed or two-handed techniques in minor procedures.
