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. This product is straight with cross-serrated tips and a length of 8 inches.
