Thumb Forceps

Thumb forceps, also known as dressing forceps or surgical tweezers, are essential handheld instruments used to grasp, hold, or manipulate tissue with controlled precision. Featuring two flat opposing blades that are pressed together by the user’s thumb and fingers, these forceps are ideal for tasks such as holding sutures, handling dressings, or stabilizing delicate tissue during dissection. Their versatility spans across general surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and minor procedures in clinics.Available in a wide variety of tip styles—including serrated, smooth, and 1×2 toothed—thumb forceps can be selected based on the degree of grip and tissue delicacy required. Toothed forceps provide a secure hold on tougher tissue, while smooth or serrated tips reduce the risk of trauma in more sensitive areas. Most are made from stainless steel, ensuring easy sterilization and long-lasting durability in rigorous clinical settings.Ergonomically crafted for comfort and control, thumb forceps are a fundamental part of every surgical tray. Their intuitive operation and reliable performance help maintain procedural flow while minimizing tissue injury—making them indispensable tools for surgical precision.
