Millard (Adson) Hooks Forceps are surgical devices developed for delicate operations, notably those in cosmetic surgery.

Function:

• Grasping and manipulating thin tissues during surgery.
• The twin hooks ensure a firm grip on tissue without undue crushing.

Components:

• Thimble: A finger ring at the handle’s base for increased control and stability.
• Body: Made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure durability and sterilization.
• Teeth: May be present on the gripping surface (1×2 arrangement) to provide a tighter hold on tissues.

Benefits:

• Precision: The tiny hooks enable exact manipulation of delicate tissues, reducing injury.
• Versatility: Because of the many hook shapes and sizes available, they may be used for a variety of treatments.
• Control: The thimble allows for a more comfortable grip and promotes hand-eye coordination during surgery.
• Durability: The stainless steel design enables long-term usage when properly sterilized.

Applications:
