Adson Dressing Forceps: Design and Supply
The adson dressing forceps sits in Sklar's thumb forceps line, in the Econo Sterile Floor Grade range. This instrument is thumb forceps used for holding dressing materials such as cotton and gauze during surgical procedures, changing dressings, or packing wounds. They have a wide thumb grasp for increased precision and control. It is made of stainless steel. Because it is sterile and disposable, it goes from the package to the field and is discarded after the case, which keeps turnover simple.
