World Precision Instrument Rochester-Oschner Hemostatic Forceps, 16cm, Curved
The Rochester-Oschner Hemostat, created in the 1950s by Drs. Edward W. Ochsner and Frank J. Tornetta at the Rochester General Hospital, features a serrated jaw on one blade and a straight, smooth jaw on the other. This Rochester-Oschner Hemostatic Forceps has a serrated jaw for gripping and holding tissue. This pair has two serrated blades, while others have one smooth blade. The instrument is made of high-quality stainless steel, which provides durability and corrosion resistance. It is also available in various sizes.
The Rochester-Oschner Hemostat ensures precise and controlled hemostasis. The serrated jaw allows for a firm grip on tissue, which minimizes the risk of slippage or damage to surrounding structures. Its compact size makes it a good choice for applications like general surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and neurosurgery.
World Precision Instrument McIndoe Dressing Forceps,15.5cm, Straight, Serrated, Tungsten Carbide
Our McIndoe Dressing Forceps have fine, narrow tips for grasping delicate tissues and for accessing deeper within an incision. Originally designed for plastic surgery, they are also popular for microdissection, and ophthalmology. The stabilizing pin and grooved handle give you a secure grip for better control of the tweezers. They are 15.5 cm (6") long with straight, serrated tips. They come as standard or with tungsten carbide inserts. Tungsten carbide (TC) is extremely hard and durable, giving you a long-lasting pair of forceps. With a high coefficient of friction, TC forceps offer enhanced gripping ability for a secure hold with minimal friction against tissues. The reduced friction means less tissue damage as a result of handling. Tungsten carbide is also resistant to corrosion.
World Precision Instrument Self-Closing Filter Forceps, 11cm, Bent Flat Jaw
Self-Closing Filter Forceps are surgical instruments designed for the placement, manipulation, or removal of filters like those used in the inferior vena cava (IVC). These filters are placed in the IVC to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs in patients at risk of pulmonary embolism. A life science researcher might use these forceps for handling delicate or small samples, for gel handling, for microdissection involving delicate tissue or small structures, or for assembly/disassembly of fragile components. These Filter Forceps are 11 cm (4.3") long with bent, flat jaws and a self-closing spring action.
World Precision Instrument Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps, 16cm, Straight, German
Rochester-Pean forceps may be used in a variety of surgical procedures for clamping blood vessels or other tissues. The solid grip offers surgeons a strong, secure grip, necessary when controlling bleeding. The serrated, grooves along the jaws are designed for an effective grip on tissue to prevent tissue from slipping out of the forceps during use. These hemostatic forceps are available in a variety of sizes, have a locking handle and are constructed of stainless steel. Our premium line is constructed from German stainless steel.
World Precision Instrument Tissue Forceps, 14.5 cm, 3x4 Teeth
Tissue forceps with teeth have a fine tip with teeth for delicate tissue manipulation, such as during ophthalmic surgery or plastic surgery. Laboratory researchers choose these tissue forceps for precision work and microdissection. Choose between a 2x3, a 3x4, or a 4x5 tooth configuration. For example, 2x3 configuration has two teeth on one tip and three teeth on the other tip of the tweezers. The teeth ensure a firm grasp of the tissue, which is ideal for slippery or hard to hold tissues. While tweezers with teeth run the risk of puncturing delicate tissue, you do get a more secure hold. As a general rule, the fewer the teeth, the less likely the tissue trauma. These are available with straight tips. They are 14.5cm (5.7") long and fit easily into your hand for precision work.
World Precision Instrument WPI Swiss Tweezers #5, 11cm, 0.1x0.06mm Tips, Antimagnetic
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.

World Precision Instrument Dumont Tweezers #3, 12cm, 0.4 x 0.3mm tips
Dumoxel Material Information
Resistant to staining, but slightly softer and less magnetic than stainless steel (Rockwell Hardness measurement of 36). Higher resistance to corrosion due to high content of molybdum and chromium. Very resistant to sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and other mineral and organic acids. Autoclavable. More likely to bend than to break. The maximum temperature this material can withstand is 350° C.
Dumostar Material Information
Highly resistant to metal fatigue, has great elasticity, and is durable (Rockwell Hardness measurement of 62). Resistant to mineral and organic acids, salt. Autoclavable. More likely to break than to bend. The maximum temperature this material can withstand is 550° C.
World Precision Instrument Dumont Tweezers #2, 12 cm, Straight, 0.34x0.14mm Tips
Dumostar Material Information

World Precision Instrument Iris Forceps, 10cm, Straight, 1x2 Teeth, German
Iris forceps are a pair of surgical forceps (tweezers) often used in ophthalmic procedures. In the early 1800s, a Johann Friedrich Horner, a German ophthalmologist, began design surgical instruments specifically for use in the eye. The result of his work became one of the earliest iris forceps. Iris forceps are a small pair of forceps with a fine pointed tip for grasping delicate tissue with minimal trauma. The narrow jaws of these surgical forceps allow for fine manipulation of structures like the iris of the eye. These forceps are 10cm long with 0.8mm tips, and they come with straight or curved tips. These Iris Forceps have teeth (1x2). One blade has one tooth and the other has two. The blades align so that the teeth fit together. If the tissue to be grasped is slippery or hard to hold, surgical forceps with teeth offer a firmer grasp. However, the teeth may cause some tissue damage.
