Sklar Merit Adson Dressing Forceps, Standard

This Sklar Merit Adson dressing forceps is built to the standard profile, distinguishing it from the delicate version also carried in this range, and measures 4-3/4 inches with a straight shape and serrated tip that grips dressing material and tissue securely during handling. The standard profile carries a sturdier build than the delicate version, making it suited to slightly heavier general use such as routine dressing changes and everyday tissue handling in minor procedures.

Forceps of this general purpose type are used widely across surgical wards, outpatient clinics and treatment rooms wherever staff need a controlled way to place, adjust or remove a dressing without direct hand contact. Its serrated jaw surface helps prevent slippage when handling gauze or similar dressing material that could otherwise slide out of a smoother jaw.

It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard surgical instrument reprocessing protocols.
