STIEGLITZ 13.5 cm splinter forceps – Straight shape with secure locking mechanism
The STIEGLITZ 13.5 cm forceps from Frimed belong to the category of splinter forceps, specifically designed to remove foreign bodies (glass, wood, metal) or handle fine elements in hard-to-reach areas. They are widely used in general, dermatological, ENT and dental surgery, where precision and control are paramount.
This model has a straight, elongated shape, facilitating access to narrow areas without obstructing the view of the surgical field. With a length of 13.5 cm, it offers an ideal balance between reach and manoeuvrability, whether for short or sustained movements. Its fine, longitudinally striated jaws allow a firm grip without damaging tissue, ensuring a clean and controlled movement.
One of the key features of these forceps is their ratchet locking mechanism. Located at the base of the blades, this system allows the practitioner to keep the forceps closed without continuous effort, leaving their fingers free for other tasks. This feature is invaluable in situations where a stable hold is required for a prolonged period of time.
Made from medical-grade stainless steel, the STIEGLITZ forceps are resistant to corrosion and repeated sterilisation cycles. They meet the strict durability and hygiene standards required in the medical field. The instrument remains reliable even after numerous uses, with unchanged closing stability and jaw alignment.
The STIEGLITZ 13.5 cm model is visually distinguished by its straight, slender, uncurved profile, which makes it easy to identify among other forceps of the same name. This special shape is essential for procedures requiring frontal access and a clear view.
