Surgical forceps are one of the most essential tools used in surgical procedures. They are handheld instruments that have a scissor-like design with two blades and a handle. This versatile instrument is used by surgeons to grasp, clamp, hold, or manipulate tissues and organs during surgery.
There are various types of surgical forceps, each designed for specific purposes. The most commonly used ones include tissue forceps, hemostatic forceps, grasping forceps, and dissecting forceps.
