Absolutely. This Bergmann-Foerster instrument is completely latex-free, ensuring it is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patient care in sensitive clinical settings.

Yes, the handle includes a built-in ratchet mechanism. This allows you to lock the forceps securely in place, providing consistent pressure during surgical procedures without needing to manually maintain the hold.

These forceps are supplied non-sterile. Please ensure they undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before the first use and between all subsequent procedures.

The instrument is designed with ergonomic finger rings. These allow for comfortable handling and precise manual control, ensuring the practitioner can maintain a steady grip during operation.
