The straight tip profile gives a direct approach, while serrations provide a gripping surface at the contact point. This is a general laboratory handling format; no surgical, sterile or atraumatic specification is established for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:24px;line-height:1.35;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:30px 0 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #B7D0BF;padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eMatch tip contact to the item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eSerrated tips grip differently from smooth tips. Consider whether the item can tolerate contact with a textured surface, and use the minimum practical grip for the task. The 11.1 cm overall length provides a compact handling tool but does not establish a tip width or a guaranteed reach inside a narrow container. Check the actual access path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:24px;line-height:1.35;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:30px 0 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #B7D0BF;padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eKeep tools assigned to their workflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eA six-piece pack allows separate tools to be allocated to different stations or procedures. Keep that assignment clear to avoid carrying material between tasks. The blue ABS construction and corrugated handles support identification and handling, but colour alone is not a contamination-control system; cleaning and replacement remain part of the laboratory procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:24px;line-height:1.35;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:30px 0 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #B7D0BF;padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eChoose gripping or scooping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eForceps suit items that can be picked up between two tips. Powders and granular materials often call for a spatula or scoop instead, while a delicate surface may require a different tip finish. Make the selection around the contact method rather than buying one hand tool for every material. HS15998C is a pack of six straight-tip forceps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background:#F1F7F3;border-left:4px solid #245B45;padding:20px;margin:28px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.4;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eConfirm the order unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eHS15998C — Pack of 6. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Open Sans,sans-serif;font-size:24px;line-height:1.35;font-weight:600;color:#245B45;margin:30px 0 14px;border-bottom:1px solid #B7D0BF;padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eRelated choices for your workflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:3px solid #B7D0BF;padding:2px 0 2px 18px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color:#245B45;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\" href=\"\/products\/stainless-steel-spatulas\"\u003eHeathrow Scientific Stainless-Steel Laboratory Spatulas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eChoose a spatula when the material needs to be scooped, lifted or transferred rather than gripped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:3px solid #B7D0BF;padding:2px 0 2px 18px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color:#245B45;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\" href=\"\/products\/weighing-papers\"\u003eHeathrow Scientific Weighing Papers – Nitrogen-Free, 500\/Pack\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003ePrepare a weighing surface when transferring suitable small samples, with the handling tool chosen for the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq_block\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
