Dressing Forceps, also known as thumb forceps or pickups, are surgical instruments characterized by their long, thin handles and serrated tips. They are typically used when dressing wounds where they hold gauze and other dressings. 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 are available as 12.5 cm (5") or 30.5 (12") long with straight, serrated tips, or 15 cm (5.9") long with angled 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.

When it comes to sterilizing lab forceps, it is crucial to follow proper protocols to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination. Like other surgical instruments, laboratory forceps may be sterilized by autoclaving, dry heat, or a chemical sterilant. However, forceps are uniquely designed for many specific functions, and a few pointers here can ensure you get the best results.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and best practices to ensure effective sterilization and maintenance of your lab forceps.
Laboratory forceps are surgical instruments that come in a variety of types. Here’s a brief overview to help you choose a set of forceps for your application. Surgical forceps can be divided into two broad categories, thumb forceps (also called tweezers) and hemostatic forceps. Tweezers can be further divided into dressing forceps and tissue forceps.
