Sklar TC Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps, Serrated
A straight, serrated tungsten carbide dressing forceps used to grasp dressings and tissue securely during general and thoracic surgical procedures.
The Sklar TC Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps is a straight forceps with tungsten carbide jaw inserts finished in a serrated pattern, giving a firm, dependable grip on gauze, packing material and light tissue. This listing spans four lengths, from six inches up to nine and a half inches, letting the buyer select the reach appropriate for the depth of the surgical field, from superficial dressing work to deeper thoracic or abdominal procedures.
The tungsten carbide inserts extend the useful life of the serrated gripping surface compared with a plain stainless steel jaw, which matters for an instrument used as often as a dressing forceps across a surgical day. Potts-Smith style forceps are used broadly across general, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery wherever dressing material or tissue needs to be held or packed.
Surgeons, nurses and surgical technologists in hospital operating theatres rely on this as one of the most frequently reached for instruments on a tray. As a reusable instrument, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between cases.
