Sklar Abell Pliers, #112

The Sklar Abell Pliers, model 112, is a hand held pliers used to grip, hold or manipulate material such as wire or small components during a surgical or dental procedure. Instruments of this kind give the operator controlled leverage and grip strength that fingers alone cannot provide, and named pliers patterns are often specified by surgeons or technicians who have developed a preference for a particular jaw shape and handle feel over the course of routine use.

This model is used wherever a firm, precise clamping action is needed as part of a broader technique, working alongside cutting or bending instruments to complete a fixation, appliance construction or repair task. Departments performing the relevant procedures keep this pliers stocked as a standard instrument set component, ready whenever it is called for.

As a reusable stainless hand instrument, it is cleaned and sterilised between uses like other surgical and dental pliers on the tray.
