Abstract

The Allis tissue forcep has straight blades along the long axis with gap to accommodate the tissue in between. It is most commonly used for holding thin but tough structures, e.g. skin, deep fascia, rectus sheath, etc. Babcock tissue forceps are curved and fenestrated blades allow a bulky amount of tissue to be held in between. They are used to hold cut margins of bladder in transvesical prostatectomy and cystolithotomy. Kocher’s hemostatic forceps, hemostatic artery forceps, Lane’s tissue forceps, Lister sinus forceps, right angle Mixter hemostatic forceps, and vas holding forceps are other forceps which are also covered in this chapter along with their silent features, uses, and images.
