WPI Swiss Microdissection Tweezers
Swiss Microdissecting Forceps have fine tips for precision work in microsurgery, microdissection, and applications requiring fine manipulation of tissue or small objects under a microscope. The tips on WPI Microdissecting Forceps are fine and straight. These are hand forceps with a spring action letting you pinch the blades together to control the amount of pressure used. You have a choice of steel they are manufactured from, all of which are suitable for autoclaving or chemical sterilization. Surgical grade stainless steel is the standard alloy for surgical instruments. The acid-resistant, anti-magnetic alloy works well in an MRI environment. The Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum (Ni-Cr-Mo) super alloy is six times harder than antimagnetic stainless steel, resistant to fatigue with a very high shape retention, and fully non-magnetic. The Diamond Like Coating (DLC) has a black, non-reflective surface, is extremely high wear and abrasion resistant, chemically inert up to 350°C, and bio-compatible. DLC instrument last a long time. All of these surgical forceps are quality Swiss-made instruments.

Super Alloy NC
- Ni-Cr-Mo Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum super alloy
- Excellent strength from room temperature to 800°C
- Six times harder than antimagnetic stainless steel
- Resistant to fatigue, very high shape retention

- Typical applications include non-magnetic tools for electronic and watch industry applications and for laboratory and medical applications in aggressive chemical environments.
High–Tech Diamond Like Coating (DLC)
The High-Tech DLC Coating is composed of carbon clusters which develop a crystal structure similar to a natural diamond and practically detain the same properties of the diamond. This high-tech coating is done by a very innovative plasma-assisted deposition technique. During this process a pure diamond film grows directly on the exposed surfaces of the metallic substrate (this is not diamond powder adhesively bonded on the metal surface).
- High hardness (up to 80 GPa)
- High adhesion to the metallic substrate
- Black color
- Thin layer (2 microns)
- High elasticity
- Extremely high wear and abrasion resistance (protects fine tip tweezers from wearing)
- No particulate shedding (no contamination of the handled components)
- Chemically inert up to 350°C
- Bio-compatible (maintain cell integrity, no inflammatory response), no contamination of biological tissue with metal particles)
- Very clean material
- NVR (Non Volatile Residue): 0.088 μg/cm2
- LPC 0.5 μm (Liquid Particle Count): 7043 counts/cm2
- IC (Ion Chromatoghraphy):
- chloride 0.039 μg/cm2
- nitrate not detected
- sulfate 0.005 μg/cm2
- total anions 0.114 μg/cm2
- ESD safe
