Crow Coagulating Dressing Forceps – 9″ (229mm) Tungsten Carbide Insulated

Crow Coagulating Dressing Forceps for Advanced Electrosurgery

The Crow Coagulating Dressing Forceps is a precision thumb instrument engineered for modern surgical suites, combining the traditional utility of a dressing tool with active monopolar coagulation. Measuring 9 inches (229mm) in length, this tool provides the necessary extension for accessing deep anatomical structures without compromising tactile feedback. At Adas Instruments, we manufacture these with high-grade insulation to prevent lateral thermal damage to the surrounding dermis and healthy tissue.

Precision Insulation and Thermal Control

Our Crow Coagulating models feature Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts, providing a non-slip, serrated surface that excels at grasping delicate dressings or small vessels. The full-length insulation ensures that electrical current is delivered strictly to the tips, allowing for pinpoint accuracy during hemostasis. This design is critical for surgeons performing intricate skin flap elevations and deep-pocket dissections where visibility and safety are paramount.

Surgical Application

• Breast Augmentation: Achieving hemostasis and precise tissue dressing in the submammary pocket.
• Facelift & Neck Lift: Navigating long anatomical tunnels with insulated safety for vessel coagulation.
• Deep Wound Management: Providing a reliable grasping and coagulating surface to maintain a dry operative field.

Care and Maintenance Section

To preserve the integrity of the insulated coating and the TC tips, it is essential to use non-abrasive cleaning methods and avoid high-alkaline detergents. Inspect the insulation before every use to ensure there are no nicks or cracks that could lead to electrical leakage. These electrosurgery instruments are fully autoclavable; ensure the tips are clear of charred tissue before sterilization to maintain optimal conductivity. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to ensure your facility is always equipped with medical-grade instruments.

People Also Ask

What is the difference between these and standard thumb forceps?
While they share the ergonomics of standard thumb forceps, these are insulated and feature a connector for an electrosurgical unit (ESU), enabling them to coagulate tissue as they grasp.

Are these Crow Forceps reusable?
Yes, they are made from premium German stainless steel and high-grade insulation designed to withstand repeated autoclave cycles.

What is the purpose of the Tungsten Carbide (TC) tips?
TC tips provide a much harder and more durable gripping surface than stainless steel, ensuring the serrations remain sharp and effective for grasping dressings and tissue for a longer period.

Can these be used for bipolar coagulation?
No, these are monopolar forceps. They require a single-pin cable connection and the use of a patient return electrode (grounding pad).
