title: Carmalt splinter forceps: a useful instrument.
abstract: Most dermatologic surgeons have favourite instruments that they like to use. One of mine is the Carmalt splinter forceps. These forceps are short (about 10 cm in length) and have triangular pointed tips with serrations that are kept in alignment by a small pin at the broadest area of the tip.
