Description

Forceps are surgical instruments used for grasping, holding, or manipulating tissues, organs, or other objects during surgical procedures. They consist of two hinged arms with pointed or blunt ends and are designed to provide precision and control in delicate surgical tasks. Forceps come in various shapes and sizes, each tailored to specific surgical needs. Common types include tissue forceps, which have a toothed or non-toothed tip for grasping tissue; hemostatic forceps, which have a locking mechanism to clamp blood vessels and control bleeding; and dressing forceps, which have a smooth tip for handling dressings or sutures. Forceps are indispensable tools in surgery, allowing surgeons to perform procedures with accuracy and dexterity while minimizing tissue trauma and maintaining a sterile surgical field.
