Description

Sklar Potts-Smith Tungsten Carbide Dressing Forceps are most commonly used for application and changing of dressings. They may also be used for dissection of fine or single-layer tissue. Cross-serrated tips provide a solid grip on both materials and tissue. TC instruments are designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than other standard instruments. Sklar permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision. TC instruments are identified by gold handles.
