Hu-Friedy dressing pliers are used to grip or transfer materials in and out of the oral cavity. Our dressing pliers are made of heavy-gauge, heat-treated stainless steel to prevent tip bending and misalignment, in addition to being resistant to corrosion. The DPU17 Utility Dressing Pliers are ideal for transporting contaminated/soiled objects; cotton gauze squares, rubber dam material, carbon burs, etc., at chairside or in the sterilization area can reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
