Sklar McIndoe Forceps, Round Serrated Tip
A round tipped forceps with a serrated grip used to handle delicate tissue with control during plastic and reconstructive surgery.
The Sklar McIndoe Forceps is a tissue forceps developed for plastic and reconstructive surgery, where handling skin and soft tissue with precision and minimal trauma matters as much as achieving a secure grip. The round, serrated tip is shaped to hold tissue firmly enough for manipulation and suturing without the sharper bite of a toothed forceps, which helps limit visible marking or damage to tissue that will remain visible after healing, an important consideration in cosmetic and reconstructive work.
Plastic surgeons and general surgeons performing skin closures use this pattern for tasks such as approximating wound edges or steadying tissue while placing fine sutures. This listing covers three variants sharing a 1x2 tooth or serrated pattern and a 6 inch length, giving surgeons a small range of closely related tip configurations within the same product family.
As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and intended for repeated cleaning and sterilisation between procedures.
