Fine Science Tools microsurgery instruments — including forceps, scissors, and surgical clips — are standard in animal surgery labs worldwide. They are cited across thousands of neuroscience, physiology, and pharmacology studies involving rodent surgeries, stereotaxic procedures, and tissue preparation.
What is the Dumont #55 Forceps used for in neuroscience research?
The Dumont #55 Forceps is an ultra-fine micro-dissection tool used for delicate tissue manipulation, nerve dissection, and microsurgery in rodent models, particularly in neuroscience and electrophysiology workflows.
What material is the Dumont #55 Forceps made from?
The Dumont #55 is manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, providing the exceptional tip precision required for micro-dissection while maintaining autoclave compatibility.
Is the Dumont #55 Forceps autoclavable and reusable?
Yes. The Dumont #55 withstands standard autoclave cycles (121°C, 15 min) and can be reused across multiple procedures when properly cleaned and stored tip-up.
Which applications is the Dumont #55 Forceps most suited for?
The Dumont #55 is ideal for ultra-fine dissection of nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissue in mice and rats, and is widely used in patch clamp, in vivo electrophysiology, and microsurgery setups.
How does the Dumont #55 Forceps differ from the standard Dumont #5?
The Dumont #55 shares the same tip bevel geometry as the #5 but features lighter, thinner shanks, providing enhanced tactile feedback and reduced hand fatigue during extended micro-dissection work. The finer build makes the #55 the preferred choice for the most delicate procedures where minimal force and maximum precision are required.
