Sklar Jones Forceps, Curved or Straight 5-1/2 Inch
A 5-1/2 inch forceps available in curved or straight patterns, used to grasp, hold and manipulate tissue during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Jones Forceps is a 5-1/2 inch general surgical forceps offered in both curved and straight versions, giving the surgical team a choice of profile depending on the angle needed to approach the tissue in a given part of the procedure. The straight version suits direct, in-line grasping tasks, while the curved version allows the surgeon to reach around a structure or work at an angle that a straight instrument could not manage as comfortably.
Forceps of this general pattern are used across a wide range of procedures wherever tissue needs to be steadied, lifted or held aside, making it a routine component of general instrument trays rather than a specialty tool for one specific operation. Surgeons and surgical assistants select the curved or straight version based on the working angle required at each step.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard reprocessing protocols, with the jaw tips checked before use to confirm they close evenly for a secure grip.
