Adson Tissue Forceps — 150 mm (15 cm), Pattern 160

Adson Tissue Forceps — 150 mm (15 cm), Pattern 160 (Ref DF 03-160-02) — supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Alfred Washington Adson was a neurosurgeon at the Mayo Clinic in the early twentieth century who lent his name to the small, fine tissue forceps used today in plastic, dermatologic, and minor surgical procedures. The defining features are the slim 12 cm length and the small triangular handle area that lets the surgeon hold the forceps in a pen-grip. Two principal variants exist: Adson-Brown (multi-tooth grasping forceps for skin closure) and Adson-Dressing (smooth-tip for atraumatic handling). The Brown variant is the workhorse of plastic-surgery skin handling and remains the most widely used pattern for fine tissue grip. The Adson-Beckman variant adds a self-retaining frame for skin retraction during minor procedures.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
