Sklar Ferris-Smith Tissue Forceps, Curved

The Sklar Ferris-Smith Tissue Forceps is a surgical instrument used to grasp and stabilise tissue during operative procedures, particularly where a firm, non-slip hold is needed. The curved jaws end in 1x2 interlocking teeth that bite gently into tissue for secure traction, while a cross-serrated tying platform behind the teeth helps the surgeon manage suture material during knot tying without the thread slipping.

Measuring 7 inches, it offers enough reach for general surgical fields while remaining easy to control in the hand. This combination of features makes it a versatile choice across general, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and it is used by surgeons and their assistants in hospital operating theatres and day surgery centres.

Built from reusable stainless steel, it is designed for repeated autoclave sterilisation and is commonly included in general surgical instrument trays. Facilities across the UAE and GCC building or restocking surgical kits often include this forceps for its combined grasping and suture handling function.
