Adson Forceps

Adson forceps are short thumb forceps with a broad, flat grip and fine tips. The wide handle gives a secure hold and the narrow tips give precise control of skin and delicate tissue - which is why they are the default forceps for skin closure, plastic surgery and minor procedures.

This collection covers Adson tissue forceps with 1x2 teeth, Adson dressing forceps with serrated jaws, Adson-Brown, Adson-Micro, tying-platform and fenestrated patterns, tungsten carbide and GG versions, plus Adson and baby Adson hemostatic forceps.

Tissue (toothed) or dressing (serrated)?

Toothed Adson forceps (1x2) hold skin securely with light pressure. The teeth grip without needing to squeeze hard, so they cause less crush damage to skin edges. Serrated dressing patterns grip without piercing - for dressings, gauze, suture and tissue you don't want punctured.

Frequently asked questions

What are Adson forceps used for? Holding skin edges during suturing, handling delicate tissue in plastic and minor surgery, and removing sutures.

What does 1x2 teeth mean? One tooth on one tip that meshes between two teeth on the other.

What is a tying platform? A flat area behind the tips for grasping suture during instrument tying, without the teeth fraying it.

Adson or Adson-Brown? Adson-Brown has rows of fine teeth that spread the grip, for very delicate skin.
