Peet Splinter Forceps

Peet splinter forceps work like a small hemostat. Ring handles and a box lock drive short, fine jaws with a gentle curve.

Ring handles and lock

You open and close the jaws with finger rings. Then the ratchet holds them shut, so a fragment will not drop as you lift it away.

Curved serrated jaws

The jaws curve slightly and carry fine serrations. So they reach under a nail edge or into a small wound and keep a firm hold.

Two lengths

The 11.5 cm size gives close control at the skin. Meanwhile, the 13 cm size adds reach for deeper fragments.

When to choose it

The locking action helps when you need to pull a deeper or firmly lodged fragment. For example, wood slivers under a fingernail come out cleanly with this pattern. Peet forceps also help with small ticks and embedded debris in minor wounds. Since the lock holds the jaws closed, you can let go and reposition your hand. Then you finish the pull with a smooth, steady motion. That control makes the pattern popular with nurses in urgent care.

Reprocessing Peet splinter forceps

Open the lock and rinse the jaws soon after use. Next, brush the serrations and the box joint. Then dry the forceps, lubricate the joint and sterilize them unlocked.
