Lister Polypus And Dressing Forceps

The Lister dressing forceps are short forceps for ward dressings and minor procedures. Three lengths cover small wounds, drain sites and routine dressing changes.

Three short lengths

We offer 13, 16 and 18 cm. Additionally, the shortest suits fingertip control on small wounds. Meanwhile, the 18 cm pair reaches slightly deeper cavities.

Why the Lister dressing forceps

Short forceps give precise control when handling gauze. Therefore, they suit dressing packs, clinics and minor procedure rooms.

Typical uses

Nurses use them for dressing changes and wound cleaning. In addition, clinicians use them during minor surgery to hold swabs and small specimens.

Handling gauze

Grip the gauze near its edge and lift it straight off the wound. Also, this avoids dragging on healing tissue and keeps the wound bed calm.

On the dressing trolley

Many trolleys carry two pairs: one for removing old dressings, the other for applying new ones. As a result, the clean pair stays uncontaminated.

Named after a pioneer

Joseph Lister championed antiseptic technique in surgery. Fittingly, simple forceps like these still help keep dressings clean today.
