Dressing forceps, also known as thumb forceps or pickups, are surgical instruments characterised by their long, thin handles and serrated tips. They are typically used when dressing wounds where they hold gauze and other dressings.

• Dressing forceps with straight blades
• Serrated jaws
• Straight tips
• Surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel

They may also be used during wound debridement to remove infected or necrotic tissue or debris from the wound. They may be used for suturing when needle holders are not accessible. Dressing forceps are designed to grip delicate tissue without causing damage, and they are often used in situations where precision and control are important. These dressing forceps have straight blades and rounded (blunt) tips.

These dressing forceps are manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel, making them suitable for sterilization by autoclave or chemical sterilants. Be sure to clean your instruments properly after every use to remove proteinous and biological debris. Properly cleaning helps to improve the useable lifespan of your surgical instruments.
