Description

The Lawson Tait Wire Forceps measures 14 cm / 5½” in length and is made for handling surgical wire. It has two large finger rings, long narrow shanks, and a short working end. The jaws are straight and slightly tapered, with a small serrated area close to the tips.

The slim jaws meet neatly at the front and have fine teeth along their inner surfaces. The working end is shorter than the shanks, giving the forceps a compact gripping area. Behind the jaws, the shanks remain narrow and run back towards the finger rings with a slight change in their angle.

The handles have large oval finger rings that are easy to distinguish from the smaller working end. A box joint connects the two halves of the forceps, and a small locking catch sits along one of the handles. The serrations on the handles are close to the joint rather than running all the way to the rings.

These forceps are used for holding and working with wire during oral and maxillofacial procedures. These are used to hold the ends of stainless steel tie wire when making wire loops and other wire assemblies. They can also be used when wire needs to be held firmly while it is twisted or positioned during fixation work.

The surgical stainless steel construction gives the forceps a firm body with a smooth metal surface. Before dispatch, every piece goes through our quality inspection process. Our quality inspectors examine the jaw alignment, serrations, joint movement, locking catch, finger rings, and surface finish before the forceps is packed.

The Lawson Tait Wire Forceps is 14 cm / 5½” long, with narrow serrated jaws, long shanks, and large oval finger rings. Its compact working end is made for gripping wire, while the box joint and locking catch give the forceps its familiar shape for maxillofacial wiring work.
