Thoracic Forceps

Delicate pattern, 1x2 teeth, 7-1/8" (18.0 cm) Adson Artery Forceps are 7 1/8" and are developed with 1x2 teeth in a delicate pattern with either curved or straight jaws to suit different needs. Primarily applied during operations in which arteries need to be grasped or compressed, the teeth on the tips of the jaws interlock to confirm that a tight grip is held.

Fenestrated handles, lightweight, 4-3/4" (12.1 cm) Adson Thumb Forceps with Fenestrated Handles are handcrafted from surgical grade German stainless steel. Available in a variety of forms: for dressings with a serrated platform or for tissue with a serrated platform and 1x2 teeth. This lightweight model is ideal for plastic surgery procedures or any other procedure where surgeon fatigue may pose an issue.

Longitudinal serrations, 1x2 teeth, straight Allen-Kocher Artery and Intestinal Forceps are designed with longitudinal serrations on straight jaws. These ratchet ring-handled forceps also contain 1x2 teeth on the tips of the jaws that interlock in order to compress tissue in which blood is being depleted.

Tungsten carbide jaws Babcock Tissue Forceps have jaws that are made from tungsten carbide, the hardest metal made for surgical instruments. Precision-milled serrations are formed onto the tungsten carbide inserts, resulting in pyramid-shaped teeth that provide a non-slip grip. Pyramid-shaped teeth align perfectly with each other to provide a durable and reliable grasp of the most delicate or toughest tissues, as well as needles, sutures, dressing materials and delicate vessels. Smooth tungsten carbide inserts are also available for delicate procedures. Spring tension allows for surgeons to maintain proper and consistent position, ensuring optimal grip without having to apply excess force. These forceps also feature gold-plated handles.
