What are rat tooth forceps used for?
Rat tooth forceps are used to grasp foreign bodies, such as safety pins and paperclips, where the rat teeth can be beneficial in wrapping around the object for a more secure grasp. Rat teeth grasping devices are also used to retrieve coins as well as esophageal and biliary stents and can be beneficial in debriding a food bolus.
What is another name for rat tooth forceps?
Rat tooth forceps are also referred to as grasping forceps.
What is another name for alligator/rat tooth forceps?
Forceps with both alligator/rat tooth capabilities are commonly referred to as hybrid grasping forceps.
When do you use grasping forceps?
Grasping forceps are used whenever the physician sees a need to grasp a foreign body with rat teeth (i.e., paperclip, safety pin, coins, stents) or to use the alligator teeth to ensure a secure grip on excised tissue.
