Description
Splinter forceps measure 4.5 inches in overall length and feature serrated jaws designed to securely grab small splinters or foreign bodies from skin and soft tissue. The straight, slender shaft provides access to tight or recessed areas with minimal tissue disturbance. Serrations along the gripping surfaces help prevent slippage when engaging smooth or angled splinters, supporting controlled extraction under standard clinical hand positions.
