Surgical forceps are handheld instruments used by surgeons to grasp, hold, or manipulate tissues and other materials during medical procedures. They come in various shapes and sizes, designed for specific tasks, such as clamping blood vessels or holding organs in place. These tools are typically made of stainless steel for durability and easy sterilization. Some common types of surgical forceps include hemostatic forceps, which control bleeding, and tissue forceps, which are used to hold soft tissues. Their precise design allows for better control and accuracy during surgery.
