Surgical forceps are handheld tools used to grasp, hold, or manipulate tissues and objects during medical procedures. Toothed forceps offer better grip on tough tissues like skin, while non-toothed (smooth) forceps are ideal for delicate tissues to avoid damage. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they are sterilizable and designed for repeated use in both minor and major surgical settings.

Surgical forceps are handheld instruments used for grasping, holding, or manipulating tissue during medical procedures. They come in two primary variants—toothed forceps, which have serrated tips for a firm grip on tough tissue like skin or fascia, and non-toothed (smooth) forceps, which are used for delicate tissue such as blood vessels or intestines to avoid trauma. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, forceps are designed with a scissor-like handle and spring tension that opens the tips when the grip is released. Their textured grip ensures control, even when wearing surgical gloves. The toothed version is ideal for tasks that require a firm hold, like wound closure or suturing, while non-toothed forceps are suitable for handling sensitive or vascular tissue without causing damage. Forceps are a fundamental part of surgical, dental, and wound-care kits. They are used in general surgery, OB/GYN, orthopedics, and even minor procedures like dressing changes and biopsies. Available in various sizes and tip configurations (pointed, rounded, angled), they offer versatility to match different procedural needs. Most forceps are reusable and can withstand repeated autoclaving, making them durable and cost-effective. Their compact size and high utility also make them indispensable in emergency kits and field surgery. Whether for tissue dissection, suturing, or precise placement of medical devices, toothed and non-toothed forceps are essential tools trusted by medical professionals across disciplines.
