An 8" Adson forceps with fine teeth is a surgical tool used to securely grasp and manipulate tissue without causing significant trauma. Its uses includeholding tissue during suturing, moving dressings, tying sutures, and grasping tough tissues like skin or fascia in various minor surgeries. The 8-inch size offers increased length for deeper access during procedures.
Tissue manipulation: The fine teeth provide a firm but delicate grip for holding soft tissues, such as skin and fascia, during a surgical procedure.
Suturing: They are used to hold tissue in place when applying sutures and can also be used for tying sutures.
Dressing and moving objects: The forceps can hold and move dressings, cotton, or gauze, preventing the need to use hands or fingers directly.
