14 cm 90° Stieglitz Splinter Forceps

Product Overview

The 14 cm 90° Stieglitz Splinter Forceps is a precision surgical instrument designed for the controlled grasping, manipulation, and removal of small foreign bodies, fragments, splinters, and other materials encountered within surgical or clinical fields. Its distinctive 90-degree angled working end provides an alternative approach to areas where a straight instrument may offer limited access or an inconvenient working angle.

The Stieglitz pattern is recognized for its fine, pointed working jaws and controlled grasping action. The 90° configuration is particularly useful when the clinician needs to approach a target from a perpendicular or near-perpendicular direction while maintaining appropriate hand positioning and visibility of the operative site.

With an overall length of approximately 14 cm (5½ inches), this instrument provides a practical balance between reach, control, and maneuverability. The design is suitable for professional healthcare environments where precision handling of small objects and foreign materials is required.

Commercial surgical-instrument catalogs identify the Stieglitz Splinter Forceps in a 14 cm, 90° angled configuration, alongside straight and 45° angled variants.

90° Angled Working End

The principal feature of this model is its 90-degree angled working end. The right-angle configuration allows the tips to approach the target from a different direction than a conventional straight forceps.

This configuration can be advantageous when working in confined, recessed, or difficult-to-access areas where the shaft of a straight forceps may interfere with the operator’s line of approach. The angled design can also help the user maintain a more suitable hand position while directing the tips toward the material being grasped.

The 90° Stieglitz configuration is documented as a dedicated variant of the Stieglitz Splinter Forceps, with manufacturers and instrument catalogs listing it at approximately 14 cm.
