Sklarlite Adson Brown Tissue Forceps, Side Grasping
A lightweight 4-3/4 inch Adson Brown forceps from Sklarlite with 9x9 side-grasping teeth, used to gently hold soft tissue during surgery in hospitals and clinics.
The Sklarlite Adson Brown Tissue Forceps are a straight 4-3/4 inch instrument built on Sklar's extra light Sklarlite platform, fitted with a 9x9 side-grasping tooth pattern designed to hold soft tissue such as skin and subcutaneous fat with a broad, distributed grip rather than sharp pinpoint teeth.
This side-grasping design spreads the holding pressure across more tooth surface, reducing localised crush injury to delicate tissue compared to a fine toothed forceps, which is why the Adson Brown pattern is commonly chosen for handling skin edges during closure or for gentle retraction of soft tissue in plastic and general surgery.
The extra light Sklarlite build reduces hand fatigue for surgeons who hold the forceps for extended periods during a procedure. Manufactured by Sklar, it is designed for repeated surgical use and should be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between cases following standard reprocessing protocol, with attention paid to keeping the fine teeth free from debris to preserve grip quality.
Plastic surgery and general surgical units across the UAE commonly keep this lightweight Adson Brown forceps in their tissue handling instrument sets.
