Terms & Conditions of Use

Surgeons often switch forceps during surgery. A novel Adson-type forceps features both toothed and nontoothed jaws, saving time and effort in procedures like hand and head/neck surgery.

Area of Science:

Surgical Instrumentation
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Many surgical procedures necessitate frequent instrument changes, specifically switching between toothed and nontoothed forceps.
This is common in delicate surgeries such as hand surgery and head and neck surgery, particularly for sub-dermal operations.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the inefficiency of repeated instrument exchanges during surgery.
To introduce a novel surgical tool designed to streamline surgical workflows.

Main Methods:

Development of an innovative Adson-type forceps.
The forceps are designed with a unique dual-jaw configuration: one end features toothed jaws, while the other has nontoothed jaws.

Main Results:

The modified Adson-type forceps integrates both toothed and nontoothed jaw functionalities into a single instrument.
