Swiss Microdissecting Forceps have fine tips for precision work in microsurgery, microdissection, and applications requiring fine manipulation of tissue or small objects under a microscope. The tips on WPI Microdissecting Forceps are fine and straight. These are hand forceps with a spring action letting you pinch the blades together to control the amount of pressure used. You have a choice of steel they are manufactured from, all of which are suitable for autoclaving or chemical sterilization. Surgical grade stainless steel is the standard alloy for surgical instruments. The acid-resistant, anti-magnetic alloy works well in an MRI environment.
