Key Features: Desig n: Straight or curved blades with transverse serrations along the inner surface for secure grip. Locking mechanism: Ratchet catch near the finger rings to hold vessels or tissues firmly. Tip: Narrower than some heavier forceps (e.g., Rochester-Pean), allowing for more precise clamping.
