Sklar Merit Adson-Brown Forceps, 7x7 Teeth
A Sklar Merit Adson-Brown tissue forceps, 4-3/4 inches, straight with 7x7 side-grasping teeth, used to hold delicate tissue with a broad, gentle contact area.
The Adson-Brown forceps combines the fine, close handling of an Adson style forceps with a broader, multi tooth tip pattern, giving the surgeon a wider grasping surface that distributes pressure across more tissue points rather than concentrating force on a single tooth. This Sklar Merit version measures 4-3/4 inches, is straight, and features a 7x7 side-grasping tooth pattern, one of two variants offered in this listing.
Forceps of this design are used in plastic, reconstructive and general surgery wherever delicate tissue such as skin edges needs to be held during closure or dissection without excessive crushing. The side-grasping tooth arrangement helps hold tissue securely from the side of the jaw rather than only at the very tip, which some surgeons find gives steadier control during fine work.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard surgical instrument reprocessing protocols, with the fine tooth pattern checked periodically for wear.
