Adson Thumb Forceps – Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten Carbide

Adson Thumb Forceps are handcrafted from tungsten carbide for a durable and strong instrument. Available in a variety of forms: for dressings with a serrated platform or for tissue with a serrated platform and 1×2 teeth. Each style is also available in a delicate pattern and at several different lengths for a comfortable grip. Tungsten carbide forceps feature tips made from tungsten carbide, the hardest metal made for surgical instruments. Precision-milled serrations are formed onto the tungsten carbide inserts, resulting in pyramid-shaped teeth that provide a non-slip grip. Pyramid-shaped teeth align perfectly with each other to provide a durable and reliable grasp of the most delicate or toughest tissues, as well as needles, sutures, dressing materials and delicate vessels. Smooth tungsten carbide inserts are also available for delicate procedures. Spring tension allows for surgeons to maintain proper and consistent position, ensuring optimal grip without having to apply excess force. These forceps feature gold-plated handles.
