Adson-Brown Tissue Forceps

Description

Adson-Brown Tissue Forceps

Adson-Brown forceps combine the Adson shape with rows of fine teeth. They come in 12 and 13 cm.

Multi-row teeth

Dozens of fine teeth share the grip along the tip. As a result, skin stays almost uncrushed.

Straight or curved

Straight tips suit direct closure. By contrast, the curved tip hugs rounded contours such as the nose or chin.

Carbide option

With carbide inserts, the fine teeth resist wear for years. Therefore it suits busy plastic and general lists.

Where they help

Surgeons pick Adson-Brown forceps for delicate skin, such as the face and hands. Then a standard Adson covers routine closure. Also, the gentle teeth suit older, thinner skin. In addition, the pattern suits facial and hand closures, where tissue is thin. Meanwhile, the carbide version keeps its teeth longer. So many plastic surgeons use them as their main skin forceps. Also, this design helps with skin that tears easily, because many small teeth share the load. For example, a 12 cm straight pair suits most facial closures. Meanwhile, the curved pair reaches around the nose and ears.

Cleaning Adson-Brown forceps

Work a brush between the Adson-Brown teeth promptly. Wash the forceps and towel-dry them. Keep the pair where its fine tips cannot bend.
