Micro Adson Forceps, Stainless Steel

The Micro Adson Forceps is a scaled down version of the standard Adson forceps, built with especially fine tips for delicate surgical procedures where standard sized forceps would be too coarse for the tissue involved. Its narrow, precisely aligned jaw allows accurate and delicate manipulation, giving the surgeon confidence when working with small, thin or easily traumatised tissue that needs to be handled with minimal force.

Made from durable stainless steel, the instrument is built to maintain its fine tip alignment through repeated use and the sterilisation cycles expected of reusable surgical instruments in a hospital operating theatre. Because the design is intended for intricate surgical tasks, it is often used in specialties such as plastic surgery, microsurgery and other procedures requiring precision beyond what general forceps provide, wherever the surgeon needs a lighter, more controlled touch on delicate tissue.

Surgeons across these specialties keep micro forceps like this as part of a dedicated fine instrument set, distinct from the heavier forceps used for more robust tissue handling elsewhere in the same procedure. As with other reusable stainless steel instruments, it should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised between patients according to the facility's infection control protocol.
