The standard dressing forceps with TC inserts in the serrated jaws, for a grip that stays sharp and secure through many cycles.

Design features

• Tungsten carbide (TC) cutting inserts, harder than stainless steel, for a longer-lasting edge
• Gold-coloured ring handles identify the TC range on the instrument tray
• Serrated (smooth, atraumatic) jaws
• Lengths 14.5 to 25 cm

Typical applications

• Handling dressings and swabs
• Holding tissue during suturing

Care

Check that the tips meet evenly before each use; bent tips should be realigned by a qualified service. Process with the tips protected. TC jaw inserts are harder than stainless steel and give a longer-lasting grip.
