New combination forceps enhance surgical safety and efficiency by improving tissue handling and knot-tying. Toothed combination forceps are recommended for optimal surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Instrumentation
  • Medical Device Innovation

Background:

  • Needle stick injuries are a significant risk in surgical settings.
  • Effective instrumentation is crucial for preventing such injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgical forceps designed to enhance safety.
  • To evaluate instruments that improve tissue handling and knot-tying efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of medical literature was conducted using Ovid.
  • Commercially available surgical forceps underwent qualitative testing.

Main Results:

  • Suture platforms integrated into forceps securely hold needles during knot tying.
  • Combination forceps, categorized as skin hook or toothed, offer diverse functionalities.
