The narrow design of the Gillies forceps tips allow for precise dissection and manipulation of small structures, such as blood vessels, nerves, and delicate skin flaps. 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. Our Gillies Dissecting Forceps are manufactured with surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel, both of which are autoclavable. WPI recommends properly cleaning all your surgical instruments promptly after use. This improves the useable lifespan of your surgical tools.
