14 cm Stieglitz Splinter Forceps Straight

Product Overview

The 14 cm Stieglitz Splinter Forceps Straight is a precision surgical instrument designed for the controlled grasping, manipulation, and removal of small foreign bodies, splinters, debris, and other delicate materials encountered during surgical and clinical procedures. Its straight working profile provides a direct approach to the target area, while the fine, pointed and serrated jaws are designed to provide a secure grip on small objects.

Manufactured for professional medical applications, the Stieglitz Splinter Forceps combines functional design, precise handling, and durable stainless-steel construction. The 14 cm overall length provides a useful balance between accessibility and instrument control, making it suitable for procedures where accurate manipulation of small objects is required.

The straight configuration is particularly useful when the operator requires a direct line of approach to the working site. The fine jaws can be positioned accurately around small foreign materials, allowing controlled grasping and extraction when used by a trained healthcare professional.

The Stieglitz Splinter Forceps Straight, 14 cm is available as a reusable, non-sterile surgical instrument and should be appropriately cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to the applicable institutional procedures and the manufacturer’s instructions before clinical use. Manufacturer references identify the Stieglitz pattern in a 14 cm straight configuration, while detailed product specifications from established surgical-instrument manufacturers describe serrated jaws, box-lock construction, and a ratchet mechanism.

Detailed Description

The Stieglitz Splinter Forceps Straight 14 cm is a specialized forceps designed for precision handling of small objects during medical and surgical procedures. The instrument’s narrow working end allows the user to approach small targets with greater accuracy than a conventional broad-jawed forceps.

The straight jaw configuration creates a direct working axis between the operator’s hand and the instrument tip. This design can be particularly advantageous when the surgical field permits a straight approach and the operator needs controlled positioning of the instrument.

The pointed working tips are designed to reach small or difficult-to-grasp objects. Serrations on the gripping surface help maintain contact with the object being manipulated. This combination of a fine profile and textured gripping surface is intended to provide controlled handling while minimizing unnecessary movement of the object during extraction.

The 14 cm length provides sufficient working reach while retaining a compact profile for precise manipulation. The instrument is therefore well suited to applications where the operator requires a balance between reach, visibility, and fingertip control.
