Surgical Forceps: Grasping and Hemostasis in the Operating Room

Surgical forceps belong to the grasping instruments and are fundamental in surgery for holding and maintaining tissues or blood vessels, performing hemostasis, and securing surgical drapes. Depending on their shape, their jaws, and their function, several types are distinguished, each designed for a specific need within the intervention.

Types of Surgical Forceps

Dissecting Forceps

Dissecting forceps are used to hold and manipulate tissues. The toothed versions offer a firm grip (with some traumatic character), while the toothless or anatomical ones hold in an atraumatic way. You can see the entire range in our category of dissecting forceps.

Hemostatic Forceps

Designed to clamp and temporarily occlude severed vessels and control bleeding. Within this group are classic models such as the Pean forceps, the Kocher forceps (with serrations at the tip for a firm grip), and the Mosquito forceps (smaller in size, for thin vessels).

Drape Forceps

Used to secure drapes and towels to the surgical field, maintaining sterility during the intervention.

Materials and Sterilization

Most surgical forceps are made of surgical stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and sterilizable in an autoclave. Proper maintenance (cleaning, drying, and correct sterilization) ensures a long lifespan of the instrument.
