Gillies Dissecting Forceps: Precision Engineering for Modern Surgery
The Gillies Dissecting Forceps is an indispensable tool for surgeons who demand uncompromising accuracy in delicate tissue handling. Often utilized in plastic and maxillofacial procedures, these medical-grade instruments are designed with a narrow profile to provide an unobstructed view of the operative site. At Adas Instruments, our focus on metallurgical excellence ensures that every pair of Gillies forceps offers the durability and precision required for the most demanding surgical environments.

Forged from high-performance German surgical stainless steel, our Gillies models undergo a rigorous passivation process to ensure lifelong resistance to corrosion and oxidation. These surgical pickups feature a specialized hybrid jaw: the 1×2 rat-tooth tip provides a non-slip hold on tough fascia, while the fine cross-serrated inner jaws allow for the atraumatic displacement of vessels and nerves. As high-quality dissecting forceps, they are boil tested and ultrasonic cleaned to guarantee they arrive in peak functional condition. The ergonomic fluted handle is specifically designed to enhance grip stability, even when wearing wet surgical gloves.
Surgical Application
- Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Acting as specialized micro forceps for precise skin edge alignment and wound closure.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Navigating deep facial structures where standard tissue forceps would be too bulky.
- Vascular Surgery: Providing the delicate touch necessary for stabilizing small vessels without causing endothelial damage.
- Dermatology: Serving as reliable suturing forceps for high-aesthetic-requirement facial procedures.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the delicate alignment of these fixation forceps, they should be cleaned using soft-bristled brushes and pH-neutral solutions. It is essential to verify that the fine serrations are free of debris before the sterilization cycle. These instruments are fully reusable and designed to withstand standard hospital autoclaving protocols. Adas Instruments proudly ships USA, Europe & worldwide, ensuring that elite surgical engineering is accessible to clinics and hospitals across the globe.
People Also Ask
What makes Gillies forceps different from standard Adson forceps?
Gillies forceps are longer (typically 15cm) and have a much narrower, more tapered profile compared to the wider-handled Adson. This makes them superior for reaching into deep or narrow incisions.
Does this instrument have teeth?
Yes, our Gillies model features a 1×2 teeth configuration at the tip combined with fine serrated jaws, offering a versatile “hybrid” grip for various tissue types.
Are these suitable for neurosurgery?
While primarily used in plastic surgery, their fine tips and length make them excellent dissecting forceps for certain neurosurgical and ENT procedures where reach is required.
