Dumont SA located in Switzerland has been producing the world’s finest microsurgical forceps for more than 135 years. This is a handcrafting process where each forceps point is made and adjusted by hand, part by part. Instruments from Dumont are widely known for their very high quality and consistent fineness. The full catalogue offers several thousand items, while we have selected the most popular ones within the medical field. There are several different alloys for each forceps model, each one with its own characteristics which are listed below.

Dumont Materials

Ceramic
INOX forceps with a ceramic PVD-thin-film-coating, giving the instrument superior hardness, longer lifetime and scratch resistance. Withstands temperature up to 300ºC, biocompatible and easy to clean and sterilize.

Carbon Steel
Is an extremely hard alloy which ensures very strong tips. It easily rusts, is magnetic and cannot be autoclaved.

INOX
A medical stainless steel that provides good resistance to corrosion, and temperature up to 400ºC. This alloy is magnetic and suitable for autoclave sterilisation.

Dumostar
Dumont’s finest alloy. This patented Dumont alloy is more elastic and more resistant to corrosion than the finest stainless steel. It is resistant to minerals, organic acids as well as to salt. Dumostar is 100% non magnetic and resistant up to 500 ºC.

Dumoxel
This alloy is patented by Dumont and offers the best resistance to corrosion, mineral and organic acids due to high concentration of molybdenum and chromium. Dumoxel is 95% non magnetic, resistant up to 400ºC and suitable for autoclave sterilisation.

Titanium
Totally resistant to corrosion from nitric acid, chlorides and salt water. Titanium is a soft material with 40% less weight and more flexible than.

Dumont Tips

Super Fine Tips
Four times finer than the “Standard Tips.” These tips are extremely delicate for the finest work under the microscope. Extra care is needed for these tips as they are very fragile

Biology
Twice as fine as “Standard Tips.” Especially produced for high precision laboratory work under the microscope.

Standard
Made for high precision and consistently precise work under a microscope.
