Use these pliers to remove plaster casts. The scissor-joint is strong and massive, the plier jaws are rounded so that it causes no injury when pushed under the plaster cast.

The spring mounted between the handles makes it self-opening.

The Magill-Forceps are medical forceps which, in contrast to dressing forceps, are angled. The jaws are roughened and widened. That’s why the Magill-Forceps are especially suited for use in the mouth/throat region. They are often used in combination with laryngoscopy for the removal of foreign matter from the upper respiratory tract, for positioning of the tube in nasal intubation, as well as for the insertion of stomach probes into the esophagus.

Like other medical instruments, the Magill-Forceps is made of metal and therefore autoclavable. The inventor was the Irish anesthesiologist Ivan Whiteside Magill, who also designed a special endotracheal tube.

Magill-Forceps are made in various sizes. For adults the total length is 24 cm, for children 20 cm and for infants 16 cm.
