Gerald Thumb Forceps – Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide, serrated tips, 1.0 mm tips
Gerald Thumb Forceps are handcrafted from tungsten carbide for a durable and strong instrument with a crosshatched surface to provide a secure grip. This 1.0 mm tipped tool is available serrated for dressings or with 1×2 teeth for tissue manipulation and retrieval. The extra fine tip allows this instrument to be used for micro dissection. 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.
