Tungsten carbide jaws Babcock Tissue Forceps have jaws that are made from tungsten carbide, the hardest metal made for surgical instruments. Precision-milled serrations are formed onto the tungsten carbide inserts, resulting in pyramid-shaped teeth that provide a non-slip grip. Pyramid-shaped teeth align perfectly with each other to provide a durable and reliable grasp of the most delicate or toughest tissues, as well as needles, sutures, dressing materials and delicate vessels. Smooth tungsten carbide inserts are also available for delicate procedures. Spring tension allows for surgeons to maintain proper and consistent position, ensuring optimal grip without having to apply excess force. These forceps also feature gold-plated handles.

Backhaus (Ball & Socket) Towel Clamp 5-1/8" (13.0 cm Backhaus (Ball and Socket) Towel Clamp has the primary use of securing drapes to the surgical site to prevent any changes in their position during an operation. The ball and socket on the tips of the inwardly curved jaws help to secure the drapes while minimizing the penetration and damage. To use this clamp, it is positioned to the desired place and then closed using the ring-handles. The ratchet allows this instrument to stay secure until it is released.
