Abstract:
A new forceps for grasping and cutting tumour in a narrow surgical field is described. The working length is 12 cm and the grasping element at the tip is 1 mm in diameter. To avoid damage to surrounding structures caused by pulling out the tumour, the grasping portion consists of two hollow cylinders with sharp edges that divides, rather than tears tissue.
