Gradle Splinter Forceps

Description

Gradle Splinter Forceps

Gradle splinter forceps have spring handles and short, flat jaws. The small size makes them handy for delicate work around the eyelid.

Small flat jaws

The jaws close flat against each other. So they grip a single lash or a tiny splinter without tearing the skin.

Spring handles

Curved spring arms open the jaws when you relax your grip. Then a gentle squeeze closes them again.

A short 9.5 cm body

The compact length keeps your hand close to the work. Also, it fits neatly in an eye tray.

Who uses it

Eye clinics use this pattern for lash removal. Meanwhile, general clinics find it useful for tiny splinters in thin skin. Gradle forceps suit patients who need repeated lash removal, such as those with ingrown lashes. With a light touch, you can take one lash at a time. Moreover, the short body keeps the tips steady at the lid margin. Store the forceps in a tray slot so the fine jaws stay aligned.

Reprocessing Gradle splinter forceps

Wipe the jaws after use and rinse the forceps. Next, clean the spring area with a soft brush. Then dry the forceps and check the jaws for alignment.
