Atrauma, Cilia and Dissecting Forceps
This category covers three kinds of fine forceps: atraumatic forceps for handling vessels and delicate tissue, cilia forceps for removing eyelashes, and standard dissecting forceps for everyday use. All have precisely aligned tips (codes SI-011701 to SI-011730).
Where they are used
Atraumatic forceps are used in vascular, cardiac and general surgery. Cilia forceps are used in ophthalmology for epilation and lid surgery. Dissecting forceps are used in almost every operation.
Our range
- Atraumatic: Cooley and DeBakey atrauma forceps
- Cilia forceps: Barraquer, Beer, Douglas (wide and narrow tip), Bergh and Littauer
- Dissecting forceps: standard pattern, 1x2 and 2x3 teeth
Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
DeBakey forceps, with their fine, longitudinal grooved jaws, are the standard for handling vessels and bowel. Cilia forceps have smooth, flat jaws that grip a single eyelash. Toothed dissecting forceps hold skin and tough tissue, while plain forceps are gentler.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
