Babcock Tissue Forceps – Tungsten Carbide

Angled to side, 6-1/4" (16.0 c Allis-Babcock Tissue Forceps are specifically designed to be used during general surgical procedures in which tissue needs to be grabbed while minimizing any trauma that may be produced to the area. Due to the jaw tips that are fenestrated and angled to the side, this forceps may also be ideal for grasping areas such as the uterus or intestines.

Tungsten Carbide Adson Thumb Forceps are handcrafted from tungsten carbide for a durable and strong instrument. Available in a variety of forms: for dressings with a serrated platform or for tissue with a serrated platform and 1x2 teeth. Each style is also available in a delicate pattern and at several different lengths for a comfortable grip. Tungsten carbide forceps feature tips made from tungsten carbide, the hardest metal made for surgical instruments. Precision-milled serrations are formed onto the tungsten carbide inserts, resulting in pyramid-shaped teeth that provide a non-slip grip. Pyramid-shaped teeth align perfectly with each other to provide a durable and reliable grasp of the most delicate or toughest tissues, as well as needles, sutures, dressing materials and delicate vessels. Smooth tungsten carbide inserts are also available for delicate procedures. Spring tension allows for surgeons to maintain proper and consistent position, ensuring optimal grip without having to apply excess force. These forceps feature gold-plated handles.

Jaws w/ atraumatic parallel serrations Babcock Intestinal Forceps have jaws with atraumatic parallel serrations that are intended to hold a shorter section of intestine with minimal trauma and constriction. There is a ratchet on the inner side of the ring-handles so that the forceps can lock in place when needed during a surgical procedure. The forceps are polished to a dull, satin finish to minimize glare below operating room lights.

Babcock-Baby Tissue Forceps extra-delicate jaws. Babcock-Baby Tissue Forceps contain extra-delicate jaws that can be used to grasp delicate tissues or structures like the ovaries. The forceps generally have smaller jaw width and shorter overall length than the standard pattern. The shorter length may provide better control or ability to work closer to the body.
