Clinical Application
Used for atraumatic handling of dressings, gauze, pack materials and for light tissue manipulation in wound care, dressing changes and minor procedural settings. The straight serrated jaws provide a positive grip on wet or dry materials, improving control when placing or removing dressings in the operating room, clinic, emergency department or ambulatory surgery center.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry and 12.5 cm length balance reach and fingertip control for precision work in confined fields. Serrated jaw surfaces reduce slippage of dressings and soft tissue, allowing a secure hold without excessive applied pressure. The thumb-style, non-locking configuration enables quick, single-handed pick-up and release—useful during repeated dressing exchanges or when passing instruments.
