Splinter forceps are used to grasp foreign debris, splinters, or objects found in the surgical site while causing as little trauma as possible. The splinter forceps have a fine, pointed tip that allows for maximum control over the objects.
Peet splinter forceps, Hunter splinter forceps, and Walter splinter forceps are among the splinter forceps available.
Carmalt straight splinter forceps can be used to remove and place wound closure adhesive strips, remove sutures, isolate small blood vessels for electrosurgical destruction, and hold suture ends before cutting.
