Sklar Econo Feilchenfield Splinter Forceps
A disposable fine-tipped forceps with angled jaws, used to grasp and remove splinters and small foreign bodies from skin or soft tissue. Supplied disposable for single use.
The Econo Feilchenfield splinter forceps from Sklar are a disposable instrument designed to grip very small foreign objects such as splinters, thorns, or fragments of glass that have become lodged in the skin. The jaws come to a fine point and are set at an angle, which lets the clinician approach the foreign body from a comfortable angle without obstructing the view of the area being worked on.
At four and a half inches, the forceps are compact and easy to manoeuvre for close, precise handwork on small areas of skin. Supplied disposable, the forceps arrive with a sharp, accurately aligned tip for every use and are discarded afterward, which suits an instrument frequently used in emergency and minor injury care where consistent, reliable foreign body removal is important across a high volume of patients.
Emergency departments, minor injury units, and general practice clinics commonly stock this pattern for everyday wound care alongside other splinter and foreign body forceps. Packed twelve to a box, it is a practical, low-cost item for departments managing routine minor trauma cases.
