Splinter tweezers with magnifying glass, 3 1/4 in (8.3 cm).

Surgical Precision for Foreign Body Extraction

Removing a deep splinter can be difficult without the right tools. These specialized rescue forceps eliminate the guesswork thanks to the integrated magnifying glass that enlarges the affected area, allowing the rescuer to see exactly what they are doing. The perfectly aligned and sharpened tips provide a firm grip on the finest objects, reducing pain and the risk of infection associated with incomplete extraction.

Built to last, these tweezers are a valuable addition to first aid kits in industrial settings, woodworking shops, or for outdoor activities. The ergonomic design allows for one-handed operation: you hold the forceps and the magnifier simultaneously, leaving your other hand free to stabilize the area being treated.

Technical Characteristics of the Splinter Forceps

• High-Quality Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and allows for repeated disinfection without altering the precision of the tips.

• Integrated Magnifying Glass: Offers a clear, detailed view to locate debris that is almost invisible to the naked eye.

• Foldable Design: The magnifier folds down onto the forceps for a compact 8.3 cm (3.25 in) format, making it easy to store in a first aid kit.

• Ultra-Fine Tips: Specifically designed to grasp splinters without crushing the surrounding skin.

• Ergonomic Grip: Provides superior control and constant pressure for safe extraction.

How to Use Forceps with a Magnifier Safely

Before use, disinfect the forceps with an alcohol swab. Unfold the magnifier and adjust the distance to obtain a sharp image of the splinter. Grasp the foreign body as close to the skin as possible and pull firmly in the direction it entered. Once the extraction is successful, clean the instrument again and treat the wound with an antiseptic. This tool is ideal for wood, metal, or glass debris.

Maintenance and Hygiene of Your Precision Instrument

To maintain the effectiveness of your splinter forceps, it is essential to protect the tips from impact. After each use, clean the blades and the lens. The metal part can be sterilized with alcohol or a disinfecting solution. Avoid using abrasive products on the lens to prevent scratching the surface and to maintain perfect visual clarity over time.

Usage Tips for Work Environments

They allow for the quick treatment of minor incidents before they become inflamed or cause a more serious infection. This compact model is perfectly suited to meet the requirements of the CSA Z1220-17 standard regarding precision instruments.
