Sklar Merit Adson Tissue Forceps, Delicate, 1x2
A Sklar Merit Adson tissue forceps, 4-3/4 inches, straight with delicate 1x2 teeth and smooth jaws, used to grasp fine, fragile tissue during surgery.
The Adson tissue forceps is one of the most widely used forceps patterns in surgery, with a 1x2 toothed tip that interlocks to give a firm hold on tissue while limiting slippage during handling. This Sklar Merit version is built to a delicate profile, distinguishing it from the standard profile version also carried in this range, and measures 4-3/4 inches with a straight shape and smooth jaws behind the toothed tip.
The delicate build suits finer, more fragile tissue where a lighter touch is needed compared with the sturdier standard profile forceps used for slightly heavier tissue work. Surgeons across general, plastic and reconstructive surgery reach for a forceps of this kind constantly throughout a procedure, whether for dissection, tissue handling during closure or holding tissue steady for suturing.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard surgical instrument reprocessing protocols, with the fine teeth checked periodically for wear.
