Dissecting Forceps
These are also called thumb forceps because their shafts are
closed by the surgeon’s thumb. They are used to grasp tissues in order to
facilitate dissection or suturing and are divided into toothed and non-toothed.
Dissecting forceps have
two shaft and no joint the tip is serrated and may have teeth. When pressed
they provide a firm grip on tissues but the firmness depends on how much
pressure is put on the shafts. There is no locking catch on the shafts. The
shafts spring back to open position when pressure is released. They are used to
hold tissues while dissecting. The varieties are:
• Canadian
• Mitchell’s (toothed and
non-toothed)
• Adson’s
• Lane .
