Miltex® Micro Adson Dressing Forceps
4-3/4" (120mm) | Serrated Jaws | 0.6mm Extra Delicate Tip

The Miltex® Micro Adson Dressing Forceps are precision surgical instruments designed for the controlled application, manipulation, and removal of wound dressings in clinical settings. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, these forceps feature finely serrated micro jaws at an extra-delicate 0.6mm tip width, providing a secure and reliable grip on dressing materials such as gauze and cotton without causing unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissue.

The serrated jaw pattern distributes gripping force evenly across the dressing material, reducing the risk of tearing or displacing wound packing during application or removal. At 4-3/4" (120mm), the compact length offers excellent control and manoeuvrability in confined wound sites and tight anatomical spaces, making these forceps a practical choice for wound care, minor surgical procedures, and dressing changes across a range of clinical environments.

Manufactured in Germany to Miltex® quality standards, these dressing forceps are built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles, ensuring consistent performance and instrument longevity in high-use clinical settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Micro Adson Dressing Forceps used for?
Micro Adson Dressing Forceps are used to apply, manipulate, and remove wound dressings such as gauze and cotton packing. They are commonly used in wound care, dressing changes, wound packing, and minor surgical procedures across a range of clinical settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and wound care centres.

What is the difference between dressing forceps and tissue forceps?
Dressing forceps are specifically designed to handle dressing materials such as gauze and cotton without traumatizing tissue. Tissue forceps, by contrast, are designed to directly grasp and manipulate body tissue. Dressing forceps typically feature serrated jaws rather than teeth to provide grip on soft materials without piercing them.

What does the 0.6mm extra delicate tip mean?
The 0.6mm tip width indicates an ultra-fine jaw opening designed for precision handling in small or confined wound sites. The extra-delicate designation reflects the fine craftsmanship of the tip, which allows for controlled dressing manipulation with minimal disruption to the wound or surrounding tissue.

Are these forceps autoclavable?
Yes, Miltex® stainless steel surgical instruments are designed to withstand standard autoclave sterilization cycles. Always follow your facility's validated sterilization protocols for reusable surgical instruments.
