McIndoe Dressing Forceps

Description

McIndoe Dressing Forceps

McIndoe forceps are a 15 cm plastic surgery pattern with fine serrated tips. They handle delicate tissue gently.

Fine serrations

The serrated tips hold tissue without piercing it. So they suit grafts and thin flaps.

A slim body

Its narrow arms leave the graft visible. Meanwhile, the grip stays comfortable.

Carbide option

Carbide tips resist wear far better than plain steel. Therefore it suits busy plastic surgery theatres.

Where they help

Plastic surgeons use McIndoe forceps for skin grafts and delicate layers. Then a Gillies pair adds teeth for skin edges. Also, the carbide version cuts replacement costs over time. In addition, graft surgeons value this serrated tip for fine plastic closure. Meanwhile, the serrated tips hold without marking. So they pair well with Gillies forceps on a plastic tray. Also, this pattern helps hold thin grafts flat while you place sutures, and the fine serrations leave no marks on the donor skin. For example, a burns unit might keep several pairs on each grafting tray. Meanwhile, the carbide pair suits high-volume grafting units. So it pays back its cost over time.

Cleaning McIndoe forceps

Flush the McIndoe serrations once the graft is secure. Wash and towel-dry the forceps. Store the pair with silicone tip covers.
