Forceps

Forceps are versatile, handheld surgical instruments used for grasping, holding, or manipulating tissues, objects, or medical instruments during medical or dental procedures. They typically consist of two arms that are joined at a hinge, with tips designed for different types of gripping. Forceps are used in a wide range of procedures, from extractions and suturing in dentistry to general surgeries. They come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, depending on their intended purpose. Some are designed with flat tips for general gripping, while others may have serrated or locking mechanisms to securely hold tissues or objects. Forceps play a critical role in providing the surgeon or dentist with enhanced precision, control, and stability during interventions, reducing the risk of injury and improving the efficiency of procedures.
