Douglas Sponge & Uterine Dressing Forceps

9x10 teeth, 6" (15.0 cm) Adair-Allis Tissue Forceps are 6" long and are primarily used in general procedures in instances such as when diseased tissue needs to be held. The 9x10 teeth on the tips of the jaws provide a sure grasp of the tissue being held, and can also be used to approximate the edges of the membrane that creates the abdominal cavity lining.

Tungsten Carbide Adson Thumb Forceps are handcrafted from tungsten carbide for a durable and strong instrument. Available in a variety of forms: for dressings with a serrated platform or for tissue with a serrated platform and 1x2 teeth. Each style is also available in a delicate pattern and at several different lengths for a comfortable grip. Tungsten carbide forceps feature tips made from tungsten carbide, the hardest metal made for surgical instruments. Precision-milled serrations are formed onto the tungsten carbide inserts, resulting in pyramid-shaped teeth that provide a non-slip grip. Pyramid-shaped teeth align perfectly with each other to provide a durable and reliable grasp of the most delicate or toughest tissues, as well as needles, sutures, dressing materials and delicate vessels. Smooth tungsten carbide inserts are also available for delicate procedures. Spring tension allows for surgeons to maintain proper and consistent position, ensuring optimal grip without having to apply excess force. These forceps feature gold-plated handles.

Longitudinal serrations, 1x2 teeth, straight Allen-Kocher Artery and Intestinal Forceps are designed with longitudinal serrations on straight jaws. These ratchet ring-handled forceps also contain 1x2 teeth on the tips of the jaws that interlock in order to compress tissue in which blood is being depleted.

Jaws w/ atraumatic parallel serrations Babcock Intestinal Forceps have jaws with atraumatic parallel serrations that are intended to hold a shorter section of intestine with minimal trauma and constriction. There is a ratchet on the inner side of the ring-handles so that the forceps can lock in place when needed during a surgical procedure. The forceps are polished to a dull, satin finish to minimize glare below operating room lights.
