McIndoe dressing forceps 6 straight serrated TC jaws flat handle

Controlled Dressing Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The McIndoe dressing forceps is a 6-inch instrument designed for controlled grasping and positioning of dressing materials during surgical care. Its straight profile supports a direct working approach, while the flat handle provides a familiar platform for routine instrument handling. Serrated tungsten carbide jaws are suited to maintaining contact with dressing material during placement, adjustment, or removal. This practical configuration can support organized workflows in General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Plastic Surgery, where access, visibility, and deliberate handling are important. Its compact length offers useful control for close-field tasks without adding unnecessary instrument bulk.

Use Cases

• Position, adjust, or remove dressing materials during General Surgery procedures.
• Handle dressings in Neurosurgery workflows where a straight approach can support controlled access to the operative field.
• Assist with dressing placement and adjustment in Plastic Surgery procedures requiring deliberate manipulation around a surgical site.
• Use the serrated jaws to maintain contact with dressing material during routine handling tasks.
• Apply the 6-inch forceps for close-field dressing work where a compact instrument length supports direct handling.
