Sklar Healy Suture Removing Forceps, Angled Serrated

The Sklar Healy Suture Removing Forceps is a 5-1/2 inch instrument with an angled, serrated jaw, purpose built for grasping and lifting a suture away from the skin so it can be cut and removed once a wound has healed. The angled tip allows the clinician to approach the suture from a comfortable angle without obstructing the view of the wound site, and the serrated jaw grips the fine suture material securely so it does not slip while being lifted for cutting.

Nurses, physicians and surgical staff use suture removal forceps like this routinely in outpatient clinics, surgical wards and emergency departments whenever sutures placed during a prior procedure are due for removal. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Healy pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated use with standard cleaning and sterilization between patients as part of routine post-operative wound care equipment.
