Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps 14″

The 14 Inch Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps is a specialized long-reach surgical instrument commonly used in general surgery, wound care, and deep cavity procedures. It is designed for safe and precise handling of dressings, gauze, swabs, and sterile materials in areas that are difficult to access with standard-length forceps. Featuring fine serrated gripping tips , this forceps provides a secure and stable hold on dressing materials without slipping. The serrations improve grip performance, especially when handling wet or delicate materials during wound packing or surgical dressing changes.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. It maintains smooth alignment and consistent performance even after repeated sterilization cycles. A smooth spring tension mechanism allows controlled handling and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use in clinical and surgical environments. Ergonomic finger-ring handles provide comfort, stability, and precise control, ensuring safe manipulation during use. The polished finish enhances hygiene and allows easy cleaning and sterilization.
