Lockwood-Allis Tissue Forceps

Tungsten carbide jaws Babcock Tissue Forceps have jaws that are 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 also feature gold-plated handles.

Allis Tissue Forceps standard pattern standard pattern of the Allis Tissue Forceps are intended for the use of firmly grabbing or holding body tissue during surgery. This pattern includes a ratchet ring-handle with a selection of different sizes and types of teeth to accommodate various medical procedures. These teeth curve to the inside and may cause less harm to the tissue because of decreased general pressure applied to the area.

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.
