Sklar Blue Potts-Smith Dressing Forceps are most commonly used for application and changing of dressings in electrosurgical procedures. They may also be used for dissection of fine or single-layer tissue. Serrated tips provide a solid grip on both materials and tissue. Sklar Blue electrosurgical instruments feature high quality stainless steel with an insulated coating. This safe coating prevents radio frequency currents from being transmitted through the instrument which reduces the burning of non-targeted tissue. Sklar Blue instruments are fully autoclavable and may also be cleaned ultrasonically. All Sklar Blue coated instruments comply with biological testing requirements for cytotoxicity, sensitization regulatory, and ISO 10993 requirements. They also comply with the Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle Steam Sterilization Validation of ANSI/AAMI ST79. Sklar Blue electrosurgical coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects. This product is straight with serrated 1.5mm tips and a length of 10 inches.
