Sklar Standard Fine-Point Splinter Forceps
A straight, serrated fine point splinter forceps used to grasp and pull out splinters and other small foreign material from the skin.
The Sklar Standard Fine-Point Splinter Forceps is designed to take a precise hold of very small objects lodged just under the skin. Its tip narrows to a fine point and carries a serrated surface so it grips a splinter, thorn or small piece of glass firmly enough to extract it in one motion, rather than crushing or losing hold of it.
This instrument is used across emergency departments, urgent care clinics, general practice and occupational health settings, where minor foreign body removal is a common daily task for nurses and physicians. Its straight design suits direct, controlled approach to the skin surface, and the fine point makes it more precise for this task than a general purpose dressing or tissue forceps.
This listing covers two sizes of the standard pattern, giving clinicians a choice depending on hand preference and the scale of the work. It is a reusable stainless steel instrument, cleaned and sterilized between patients as part of the facility's minor procedure protocol.
