Complete guide: Stainless Steel Pennington Forceps Closed

The closed Pennington forceps is used to stabilize and position tissue during piercing procedures, especially on the navel and nipple. The triangular jaws provide a precise grip, facilitating controlled passage of the needle.

How to use

1. Sterilize the forceps according to the studio's protocol, before each use on a new client.
2. Mark the piercing area on the skin before applying the clamp.
3. Position the triangular jaws so that the marked tissue is held stably, without excessive pressure.
4. Check alignment and symmetry before passing the needle through the central opening of the forceps.
5. Insert the piercing needle with the appropriate gauge through the forceps, using it as a guide.
6. Carefully remove the forceps after the needle has passed through and the jewelry has been inserted.
7. Clean and sterilize the instrument immediately after use, according to standard hygiene procedures.

Tips from us

• Check before each use that the jaws align correctly and grip evenly, for symmetrical marking.
• Choose a needle gauge compatible with the forceps' triangle inner diameter, for an effective grip.
• Keep the instrument in a dry and clean environment between uses, to prevent corrosion or damage to the metal surface.
• Periodically inspect the jaws for wear or deformation, especially if the instrument is used intensively.
