Tissue Forceps

     Their holdings ends however have:

     •   Elasticity to reduce injury.

     •   Space to accommodate tissue.

     •   Narrow tips.

     The varieties are:

     •   Allis 

     •   Lane 

     •   Babcock 

     •   Littlewood 

     •   Stile 

     •   Duval 

            •           DeBakey lung forceps
