Gillies Tissue Forceps

Description

Gillies Tissue Forceps

Gillies forceps are a fine plastic surgery pattern with 1:2 teeth. They measure 15 cm.

1:2 teeth

The small teeth grip the skin edge securely. So they help with neat closure.

A fine tip

The narrow tip handles small tissue. Meanwhile, the long body gives good control.

Carbide option

Gold-handled carbide pairs hold their teeth far longer. Therefore it suits busy plastic surgery lists.

Where they help

Plastic surgeons use Gillies forceps for skin edges and small flaps. Then an Adson pair covers larger closures. Also, the carbide version suits teams that want a long service life. In addition, the pattern suits skin grafts and facial closure. Meanwhile, the long body keeps the hand away from the wound. So plastic surgery trays often carry a Gillies pair next to a skin hook. Also, this pattern helps with facial skin, where fine teeth leave minimal marks. For example, a plastic surgeon might pair them with a McIndoe forceps and a skin hook. Meanwhile, the carbide pair keeps its teeth sharp through many cycles. So the set covers grafts and fine closure.

Reprocessing Gillies forceps

Clean the fine Gillies teeth with a soft brush. Afterwards, rinse the forceps and dry them carefully. Then fit tip guards before storage.
