Adson Bipolar Forceps
Ah, the first of our many forceps. Yes, forceps come in many different shapes, names, sizes and specific uses, although not without differences. Adson forceps, just like most forceps, are similar to tweezers made of stainless steel meant to hold onto something else that is hard to hold onto alone– another tool or tissue that may be small or slippery. The Adson bipolar forceps in particular, with their small and tight built, are constructed to allow for more control during the surgical process.
Babcock Forceps
These big friendly giants are not out to pinch. With identifiable loop blades, their job is to hold intestine and tissue without causing damage. More gentle than the Allis forceps, this gizmo excels in holding onto tube-shaped structures commonly seen in intestinal and laparotomy procedures. The jaws are circumferential and non-perforating. Made to be used in laser procedures, these tools can be coated in non-reflective black polymer coating, which reduces laser reflection to protect patients and staff during surgeries.
